What we checked
-
USDOT number is active
The company's federal registration is current.
-
Operating authority is active
Authorized for hire across state lines as a carrier (it can haul cars itself) under MC-176273.
-
Authority was revoked in the past (1997, 2011, 2014)
It was reinstated and has been active since. Old revocations usually followed a lapse in insurance or a bond filing.
-
1 revocation notice in the last 3 years
FMCSA warned it would revoke the authority — usually over a missing insurance or bond filing — and the company fixed it in time. Repeated notices can be a sign of money trouble.
-
Liability insurance on file
$1,000,000 of liability coverage is filed with FMCSA (required minimum: $750,000).
-
Cargo insurance not filed with FMCSA
Federal rules don't require most carriers to file cargo coverage, so this is common. Ask for a certificate of insurance showing cargo coverage above your car's value.
-
Satisfactory safety rating
FMCSA audited the company and found its safety controls adequate (rated June 1987).
-
In business for 41 years
Registered with FMCSA since October 1984.
-
Only 3 roadside inspections in the last 24 months
Too few to compare with the national average. Vehicles were put out of service in 0% of inspections (national average 22.26%), drivers in 0% (national average 6.67%).
-
0 reported crashes in the last 24 months
No crashes were reported to FMCSA in the last two years.
