No roadside inspections in the last 24 months — so there's no out-of-service rate to compare. Smaller fleets are inspected less often; a clean window like this is a neutral signal, not a warning.

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

5-10 years in business

16/20
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.

5 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 record on file; no bonus criteria met yet. Remaining bonus would need: more vehicle inspections on record; more driver inspections on record; a crash-free 24 months; an official FMCSA Satisfactory rating (most carriers are never rated).
