2 revocation(s), all over 2 years ago — no recent issues

25/25
SafetyBonus points for a demonstrably clean record: enough recent inspections with below-average out-of-service rates and no crashes. Never subtracts — thin data simply earns no bonus.

Safety bonus earned for: Satisfactory FMCSA rating. Remaining bonus would need: a below-average vehicle out-of-service rate; a below-average driver out-of-service rate; a crash-free 24 months.
