Active carrier authority

20/20
Authority AgeHow long the carrier has held authority. Newer carriers are higher risk — most failures happen in the first 2 years.

10+ years of continuous authority

20/20
InsuranceWhether the carrier's required BIPD liability insurance is on file with FMCSA right now. Lapsed or missing insurance = the carrier cannot legally operate.

BIPD liability insurance on file, current

25/25
Revocation HistoryPast authority revocations by FMCSA — usually for lapsed insurance. Even if reinstated, a revocation history is a warning sign.

6 revocation(s), all over 2 years ago — no recent issues (1 cured notice not counted — deficiency fixed in time, never took effect)

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: more vehicle inspections on record; a below-average driver out-of-service rate; a crash-free 24 months.
