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

- Authority involuntarily revoked 12 times, most recent 2024-05-02 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).

- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2003-06-10 (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.
