A weighted read of the public FMCSA signals below — authority, insurance, out-of-service, crashes, roadside OOS rates, and carrier connections. A starting point for vetting, not a guarantee.

Broker payment signals

  • Authority revoked 4 times historically (reinstated) — a pattern worth noting.
  • Bond has changed hands 13 times across 7 sureties — churn can signal payment or coverage trouble.

These are FMCSA bond & authority signals — not a credit report. A filed bond cancellation is the biggest early warning that a broker may stop paying, but days-to-pay and slow-pay history aren’t public FMCSA data — verify those with a broker-credit service or references before extending terms.

Source: FMCSA Licensing & Insurance (L&I), public data. This shows the carrier’s federal insurance filings (BMC-91X liability, BMC-34 cargo) — the federally-required minimums on file for operating authority — not the carrier’s full commercial policy (its actual auto combined-single-limit, general liability, cargo, or workers’ comp, which appear on the carrier’s ACORD certificate of insurance). Always confirm current coverage with a COI from the carrier’s agent before making a vetting decision.

Recommendations

What’s driving each score, what to do about it, and where it could go.

Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving

Medium impact

Estimated Unsafe Driving percentile of 62% is close to the 65% intervention line — worth getting ahead of before it crosses.

Current trend 50% followed 100% followed 65% line

A high share of violations are occurring in MD

Medium impact

11 of 11 violations in the last 12 months (100%) came from inspections in MD. That can mean tougher enforcement there or simply more of your miles run through it — either way it's worth a look.

What to do
  • Review the inspections from MD to spot recurring issues
  • Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical

Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention

Low impact

Estimated Hours-of-Service Compliance percentile of 0% is under the 65% line. In decent shape, but here's what's driving it.

What to do
  • Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment

Drugs / alcohol violations are the leading contributor to Controlled Substances/Alcohol

Estimated Controlled Substances/Alcohol percentile of 42% is under the 80% line. In decent shape, but here's what's driving it.

Shared VINs come from FMCSA roadside-inspection records — a vehicle inspected under more than one carrier, often a fleet transfer or trailer interchange. Other links come from the FMCSA census. Shared identifiers are common and often legitimate — treat these as leads to investigate, not proof of wrongdoing.
