Analyst summary

This carrier has been operating for over 33 years, with a verified commercial address and established business domain. However, their current BI&PD insurance coverage of $1,000,000 is significantly below the required $5,000,000, and their MCS-150 filing has not been updated in 4 years. Additionally, there are no inspection data available to assess safety.
  • Can you provide documentation showing the carrier has updated their BI&PD insurance to meet the $5,000,000 requirement?
  • What is the reason for the MCS-150 form not being updated in the last 4 years?
  • Can you provide any safety inspection data or internal safety program details, given the lack of available FMCSA inspections?
