Is this carrier bookable?
Nothing here says automatic no, but there is enough to check before you tender a load.
Six things go into this read of Priority Waste LLC'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.

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
Mid-size (100–999 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 Priority Waste LLC 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
0.79
Lower than one driver per truck suggests owner-operators or part-time drivers.
Miles per Power Unit
12,624 mi
Lower utilization often seen with local, dedicated, or specialty operations (2025 data).
Inspections per Power Unit
0.1
Lower inspection activity, sometimes seen with local or low-mileage operations.
Crashes per 1,000 Units
136.2
Significantly above industry average (3.2 per 1,000 units).

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 Priority Waste LLC been involved in?
FMCSA records 117 reported crashes for Priority Waste LLC over a rolling 24-month window, including 1 fatal, 31 injury, and 108 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 Priority Waste LLC's fleet?
Priority Waste LLC operates 859 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 682 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 Priority Waste LLC located?
Priority Waste LLC is headquartered in Clinton Township, Michigan at 45000 River Ridge Drive Suite 200. 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 Priority Waste LLC for changes?
If you tender loads to Priority Waste LLC 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.
