Advisory findings (5)Recorded for context. They do not change a carrier’s verdict.
Identity
Corporate family of related entities
6 related entities share contact identifiers — consistent with corporate structure (subsidiaries, terminals, shared back-office) for an established carrier.
Identity
Broker authority in the wider network
A company two or three degrees from this carrier — connected through a shared identifier chain rather than directly — holds broker authority. This is context rather than a warning: it says a brokerage exists in the surrounding network, which is worth knowing when tracing where a load could end up, but it is not evidence about this carrier's own conduct.
Identity
Directly related entity formerly held broker authority
A company sharing this carrier's phone, email, or address has held broker authority in the past, though it is not active now. That is history rather than a live re-brokering route, but it does mean a brokerage has operated inside this group before — worth a closer look at who arranges freight here and under which authority.
Safety
Crash history within typical range
14 crashes in 36 months — within the typical range for this fleet size.
Safety
Safety rating stale or missing
The carrier has no current safety rating on file with FMCSA.

HOW THIS RECORD WAS CHECKED
Every carrier on FleetGen is evaluated against the federal record: operating authority status and the disposition of any revocation proceeding, liability, cargo and surety filings and whether this entity type is required to carry them, out-of-service orders and whether they were rescinded, inspection and crash history normalized to fleet size, out-of-service rates measured against FMCSA’s 24-month national averages, registration changes over time, and networks of companies sharing identifiers with this one.
Source: FMCSA SAFER / MCMIS via the FleetGen carrier database. Captured August 9, 2026. This record assists carrier vetting decisions and does not guarantee future performance.
