Review before tendering15 power units

ALAMO TRANSPORTATION SERVICES CO INC (USDOT 499565) in SAN ANTONIO, TX — 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.
  • 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.
  • No preventable crashes in the last 24 months; recordable crash rate not available not elevated.
  • No fatal crashes in the last 24 months.
  • No link to a prior revoked authority.
  • Authority involuntarily revoked 28 times, most recent 2023-12-11 — 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 2007-08-17 (J).
  • 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.
