Authority StatusWhether the carrier's FMCSA operating authority is currently active. Inactive = cannot legally haul freight.

Active carrier authority

20/20
Authority AgeHow long the carrier has held authority. Newer carriers are higher risk — most failures happen in the first 2 years.

10+ years of continuous authority

20/20
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.

4 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: no crashes in 24 months. Remaining bonus would need: more vehicle inspections on record; more driver inspections on record; an official FMCSA Satisfactory rating (most carriers are never rated).
