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

2 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: below-average vehicle out-of-service rate, below-average driver out-of-service rate, Satisfactory FMCSA rating. Remaining bonus would need: a crash-free 24 months.
