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 Chad Hanson'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.

Authority revocations

Revocation orders FMCSA has issued against Chad Hanson's operating authority. Voluntary revocations are typically requested by the carrier when winding down operations or restructuring.

An involuntary revocation in the recent history is the strongest negative signal on this page.

Safety

Everything FMCSA has on Chad Hanson'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

Conditional

Rated Jul 1, 2015

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.

Injuries

Tow-away

2 crashes reported. Review fatal and injury counts carefully alongside fleet size before engaging this carrier. That translates to approximately 666.7 crashes per 1,000 power units.

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

Owner-operator / very small (under 10 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 Chad Hanson 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

0.67

Lower than one driver per truck suggests owner-operators or part-time drivers.

Miles per Power Unit

70,000 mi

Moderate utilization typical of regional or LTL operations (2025 data).

Inspections per Power Unit

1.7

Normal inspection activity for an over-the-road carrier.

Crashes per 1,000 Units

666.7

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

Insurance history

Every insurance filing FMCSA has on record for Chad Hanson, 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.

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 Chad Hanson been involved in?

FMCSA records 2 reported crashes for Chad Hanson over a rolling 24-month window, including 2 fatal, 0 injury, and 2 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 Chad Hanson's fleet?

Chad Hanson operates 3 power units (trucks and tractors) and reports 2 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 Chad Hanson located?

What does a conditional safety rating mean?

A Conditional rating means FMCSA found safety management deficiencies during a compliance review. Chad Hanson is allowed to continue operating but must correct the identified issues. Brokers should exercise additional due diligence and may want to request more recent operational data before tendering loads.

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 Chad Hanson for changes?

If you tender loads to Chad Hanson 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.
