Review before tenderingHazmat-authorized2 power units
ACADEMY TRANSPORT LLC (USDOT 1871721) in ELVERSON, PA — 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.
- Cargo insurance on file.
- 1 prior insurance lapse(s) on record, most recent began 2018-05-17 — the carrier let required coverage lapse before.
- Current BIPD policy (UNITED FINANCIAL CASUALTY COMPANY) was filed 25 day(s) after the last involuntary revocation (2023-11-20) — a refile-to-reinstate pattern worth a closer look.
- Safety rating is Conditional — FMCSA found enough issues to flag but not enough to downgrade to Unsatisfactory.
- 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.
- No link to a prior revoked authority.
- Authority involuntarily revoked 20 times, most recent 2023-11-20 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2022-10-28 (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.
