6 months to 1 year

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), most recent 6-12 months ago

5/25
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: more vehicle inspections on record; an official FMCSA Satisfactory rating (most carriers are never rated).

5/10
