- No pending authority revocation.
- Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.
- BIPD on file is $750,000 — below your $1,000,000 floor (federal general-freight minimum is $750,000).
- Cargo insurance on file.

- Authority involuntarily revoked 4 times, most recent 2021-03-29 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2024-03-01 (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.
