• Authority involuntarily revoked 31 times, most recent 2025-06-17 — recurring instability (typically insurance-lapse / reinstate cycles).
• FMCSA mail to the carrier's physical address was returned undeliverable — the location may not be real (shell-carrier indicator).
• FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2023-05-18 (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.

Built from FMCSA's public Safety Management System data — guidance, not legal advice. Verify directly with the carrier and your cargo policy before tendering.
