- Authority involuntarily revoked 6 times, most recent 2025-12-19 — 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.
