5-10 years in business

16/20

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.

3 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: below-average driver out-of-service rate. Remaining bonus would need: a below-average vehicle out-of-service rate; a crash-free 24 months; an official FMCSA Satisfactory rating (most carriers are never rated).
