Would I hand freight to this carrier?
Active authority, insurance on file, unique identity, low severity — clear to tender.
FleetPulse opinion — a transparent heuristic from public FMCSA data,
not an official FMCSA safety rating or score.
Go / Caution / No-go is FleetPulse's own deterministic read of the public
federal record (authority, insurance, inspections, crashes, identity
overlap). It is not FMCSA's SMS, BASIC, ISS, or safety
rating, and not Carrier411's or Highway's scores. Every signal is computed
from a named FMCSA source field — open any item's “proof” below to audit it.

Identity / chameleon
All evaluated identity fields are unique — a strength.
Show the proof
Not a fraud determination. A shared identity value can be perfectly legitimate (a leasing company, a registered agent, a common officer name). This is a transparent heuristic, never an accusation, and no other carrier is named.
All evaluated identity fields are unique to this carrier → strength.

- Company officer unique
- Physical address unique
- Crash Vin 1 unique
0 risk factors / 5 strengths (fields shared with ≥25 carriers are treated as neutral context, excluded from both counts).
