5-10 years of continuous authority

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.

1 revocation(s), all over 2 years ago — no recent issues (1 voluntary notice not counted — requested by the carrier)

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, no crashes in 24 months. Remaining bonus would need: a below-average vehicle out-of-service rate; an official FMCSA Satisfactory rating (most carriers are never rated).

5/10

Data updated regularly from FMCSA. Trust Scores are calculated automatically.
