Review before tenderingHazmat-authorized128 power units
MID-WESTERN CAR CARRIERS INC (USDOT 244002) in KANSAS CITY, MO — has findings to review before tendering. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.

- No pending authority revocation.
- Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.

- No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
- No link to a prior revoked authority.

- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2010-06-22 (C).
- 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. The Hazmat Compliance BASIC is also withheld for this hazmat carrier.
