Is this carrier bookable?

Review First

Nothing here says automatic no, but there is enough to check before you tender a load.

Six things go into this read of Tlcb's record: operating authority, out-of-service status, insurance filings, safety rating, BASIC percentile scores, and MCS-150 freshness. Every one of them comes straight from the public FMCSA record. None of them tell you how the carrier handles damage claims or hits delivery windows, so always pull a fresh insurance certificate from the carrier and confirm rates and contact details on a current rate confirmation before you tender.

Safety

Everything FMCSA has on Tlcb's safety record: the formal safety rating, behavior-analysis BASIC scores, full inspection and crash totals, and operational metrics like drivers per power unit and annual miles per power unit. Numbers below the national average sit in the green; numbers well above are worth a closer look.

FMCSA Safety Rating

Not Rated

This carrier has not received a formal safety rating from FMCSA. Only carriers that have undergone a compliance review receive a rating. The majority of registered carriers are unrated.

BASIC safety scores

FMCSA grades every carrier across seven safety categories called BASICs (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories). Each score is a percentile from 0 to 100, calculated from the carrier's roadside inspections, crash reports, and investigation results over a rolling 24-month window. Higher scores mean more recorded violations relative to similar carriers. Scores at or above 75 can flag a carrier for FMCSA intervention and are worth a closer look before tendering. Scores below 65 sit within normal range.

Fleet profile

Small fleet (10–99 units)

Raw fleet counts only tell you so much about a carrier. A 100-truck fleet with 300 drivers is almost certainly running team or multi-shift over-the-road operations. A 100-truck fleet with 90 drivers is more likely owner-operators, regional, or local work. The ratios below are calculated from FMCSA fleet, mileage, and inspection data and show you how Tlcb actually runs day to day. That helps you judge whether their capacity, utilization, and safety performance match the kind of load you're looking to tender.

Drivers per Power Unit

1.75

Standard driver-to-truck ratio for over-the-road carriers.

Miles per Power Unit

8,797 mi

Lower utilization often seen with local, dedicated, or specialty operations (2024 data).

Inspections per Power Unit

0.5

Lower inspection activity, sometimes seen with local or low-mileage operations.

Crashes per 1,000 Units

83.3

Significantly above industry average (3.2 per 1,000 units).

Connections

Other USDOT records and external filings that link to Tlcb. Connected carriers share contact information; process agents show every state where the carrier has filed an agent for service of legal process. Both are useful for tracing related operations and verifying the carrier's stated geographic footprint.

Connected carriers

Other FMCSA-registered carriers whose contact information matches this one. We match on normalized phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses across every active and inactive USDOT record. Sharing contact details is common between affiliated companies, recently rebranded operations, fleet acquisitions, and shared dispatch offices, so a match alone is not a problem. Brokers typically review the matched carriers alongside the one they are about to book to confirm the relationship is what they expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions brokers and shippers ask about Tlcb and how to interpret the FMCSA data shown on this page.

What is the USDOT number for Tlcb?

Tlcb is assigned USDOT number 1213839 by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This number uniquely identifies the carrier in federal safety records and is used to track inspections, crashes, compliance reviews, and operating authority over time.

Is Tlcb authorized to operate?

Tlcb's current operating status is ACTIVE. They do not currently have a formal safety rating from FMCSA. Always verify operating authority and request a current insurance certificate before tendering loads.

How many inspections has Tlcb had?

Tlcb has 6 recorded roadside inspections in FMCSA's database, with 2 resulting in an out-of-service order, for an overall OOS rate of 33.3%. Inspection counts cover a rolling 24-month window.

What is a normal OOS rate?

The national average vehicle out-of-service rate is approximately 21%. The driver OOS average is closer to 5.5%. Rates well above these benchmarks may indicate recurring compliance issues. Lower rates suggest stronger maintenance and driver-qualification programs.

How many crashes has Tlcb been involved in?

FMCSA records 1 reported crashes for Tlcb over a rolling 24-month window, including 0 fatal, 0 injury, and 1 tow-away crashes. Crash counts include both preventable and non-preventable events. Always evaluate raw counts against fleet size and miles driven.

How large is Tlcb's fleet?

Tlcb operates 12 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 21 drivers on their FMCSA MCS-150 form. Fleet figures are self-reported and updated biennially, so the live operational fleet may differ slightly.

Where is Tlcb located?

Tlcb is headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska at 1605 N Shady Bend Rd. They operate in interstate commerce across state lines.

What does "Not Rated" mean?

"Not Rated" means FMCSA has not conducted a formal compliance review for this carrier. It does not indicate a safety problem on its own. The vast majority of registered carriers operate without a formal rating because compliance reviews are typically only triggered by elevated risk indicators, complaints, or scheduled audits. Use BASIC scores, inspection history, and crash records to evaluate unrated carriers.

How often is FMCSA data updated?

FMCSA refreshes carrier census data daily. Inspection and crash records are typically published within 30 days of the underlying event. Safety ratings and BASIC scores update on FMCSA's monthly cycle. The "last checked" timestamp at the bottom of this page shows when the most recent FMCSA poll happened.

Should I monitor Tlcb for changes?

If you tender loads to Tlcb regularly, monitoring is worth considering. Operating authority can lapse, insurance can drop, and safety ratings can change between bookings. Email alerts surface those changes the moment FMCSA publishes them, so you find out before your next load instead of after a problem on the road.

Where does this data come from?

All data on this page is sourced from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) via the DOT Open Data Portal. It includes the Company Census File, roadside inspection records, crash reports, and SMS/BASIC safety scores. Data is self-reported by carriers and updated regularly by FMCSA. For the authoritative single-source-of-truth record, cross-reference with FMCSA SAFER.

About this data

This profile is compiled from publicly available FMCSA data including the Company Census File, inspection and crash reports, SMS/BASIC safety scores, the Licensing & Insurance system, and the AuthHist, Revocation, OUT OF SERVICE ORDERS, InsHist, and BOC3 datasets on the DOT public data portal. Data is self-reported by carriers and updated daily by FMCSA. Inspection and crash data covers a rolling 24-month window. BASIC scores are recalculated monthly. For authoritative records, verify with FMCSA SAFER.
