Authority statusActive

Hazmat registrationNot registered

Most carriers are unrated. FMCSA only issues a safety rating after it conducts a compliance review, and it has not reviewed the majority of registered carriers. Unrated does not mean the carrier failed a review — it means no review has produced a rating.

Authority and insurance come from FMCSA's Licensing & Insurance file, last refreshed 14 May 2026; out-of-service status is from the live check above.
