- No pending authority revocation.
- Not under an uncleared federal out-of-service or safety action.

- No cargo insurance on file. Required for many shipper contracts.
- No history of insurance lapses.

- No link to a prior revoked authority.
- FMCSA compliance review on file dated 2026-03-06 (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.
