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 General Insulation Company'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.

FMCSA Safety Rating

A Conditional rating means FMCSA found the carrier does not have adequate safety management controls in place to ensure compliance with safety requirements. The carrier is allowed to continue operating but must correct identified deficiencies. Brokers should exercise additional due diligence.

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 General Insulation Company 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
1.04
Roughly one driver per truck. Typical for regional or local fleets.
Miles per Power Unit
41,364 mi
Lower utilization often seen with local, dedicated, or specialty operations (2025 data).
Inspections per Power Unit
1.7
Normal inspection activity for an over-the-road carrier.
Crashes per 1,000 Units
413.2
Significantly above industry average (3.2 per 1,000 units).

Insurance history
Every insurance filing FMCSA has on record for General Insulation Company, up to the 25 most recent including cancelled policies. Each row shows the form type, the insurance company, when the policy went into effect, and when (or if) it was cancelled. Common things brokers look for: a recent cancellation with no replacement on file (the carrier may not have valid coverage right now), repeated short-lived policies with different insurers (instability), and the actual coverage amount versus the freight value.
| Form / Type | Insurer | Effective | Cancelled | Coverage |

Process agents (BOC-3)
Every state where General Insulation Company has filed a designated agent to receive legal process on its behalf. FMCSA requires a complete BOC-3 filing covering all 50 states (plus DC) before granting interstate operating authority. A carrier listed for fewer than 51 jurisdictions either operates intrastate only, has not yet completed its BOC-3 filing, or has had a state agent terminate without replacement.

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 General Insulation Company for changes?
If you tender loads to General Insulation Company regularly, monitoring is worth considering. Operating authority can lapse, insurance can drop, and safety ratings can change between bookings.
