Review before tendering9 power units

MAXIMUS TRANSPORTATION LLC (USDOT 2934631) in ELKRIDGE, MD — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.

  • Has active operating authority that's tenderable today (common or contract).
  • No pending authority revocation.
  • Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.
  • BIPD on file: $1,000,000.
  • No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
  • 1 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2022-12-26 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.
  • Current BIPD policy (AGENCY INSURANCE COMPANY OF MARYLAND, INC) was filed 16 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2024-06-24) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.
  • Unrated by FMCSA. Most carriers are unrated — unrated is not the same as unsafe.
  • No BASIC alerts in any of the five public SMS categories.
  • Driver out-of-service rate is above the national roadside average.
  • No preventable crashes in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate 0 not elevated.
  • No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
  • Linked to a prior revoked authority (USDOT 0) — possible reincarnated / chameleon carrier. Strong bad-actor signal.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 8 times, most recent 2024-06-24 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
  • Crash Indicator and Hazmat Compliance BASICs are statutorily withheld from public SMS under the FAST Act — their absence is not a clean record; use the crash-risk signals above instead.

Built from FMCSA's public Safety Management System data — guidance, not legal advice. Verify directly with the carrier and your cargo policy before tendering.
