Review before tenderingHazmat-authorized48 power units

FITCH TRUCKING INC (USDOT 328402) in BENNET, NE — 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: $5,000,000.
  • Cargo insurance on file.
  • 1 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2009-04-08 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.
  • Current BIPD policy (CRUM & FORSTER SPECIALTY INSURANCE COMPANY) was filed 25 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2020-04-06) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.
  • Satisfactory safety rating.
  • BASIC alert flagged in: Driver Fitness.
  • Driver and vehicle out-of-service rates are at or below the national roadside average.
  • 1 preventable crash(es) in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate not available.
  • No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
  • No link to a prior revoked authority.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 8 times, most recent 2020-04-06 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
  • FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2026-01-08 (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.

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