Do not tenderHazmat-authorized358 power units
ASCEND TRANSPORTATION LLC (USDOT 439352) in JACKSON, TN — carries a hard disqualifier. FMCSA authority, fleet size, BASIC safety measures, crash and inspection history.
- Has active operating authority that's tenderable today (common or contract).
- Authority revocation is currently pending — carrier may lose operating authority soon.
- Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.
- BIPD on file: $1,000,000.
- No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
- No history of insurance lapses.
- Satisfactory safety rating.
- No BASIC alerts in any of the five public SMS categories.
- Vehicle out-of-service rate is above the national roadside average.
- 14 preventable crash(es) in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate not available.
- 4 fatal crash(es) in the last 24 months.
- No link to a prior revoked authority.
- Authority involuntarily revoked 8 times, most recent 2025-05-12 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
- 1 other active carrier(s) operate from this exact street + ZIP. High counts are often legitimate registered-agent / virtual-office addresses — treat as context, not a verdict.
- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 1991-02-04 (S).
- 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.
