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), most recent within 6 months (1 cured notice not counted — deficiency fixed in time, never took effect)

-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 vehicle out-of-service rate, below-average driver out-of-service rate. Remaining bonus would need: a crash-free 24 months; an official FMCSA Satisfactory rating (most carriers are never rated).

6/10
