Best-performing active carriers with verified authority, insurance and a real inspection record.
Ranked by the CarrierIntel Safety Score (heuristic, not the official FMCSA SMS score). Only carriers with a verifiable operating footprint are eligible: active operating status (no out-of-service date), a current Motor Carrier authority period of 6+ months, at least one current insurance filing on file, and 5+ roadside inspections in the last 12 months. Score blends OOS rate, violations per inspection and crashes/injuries/fatalities, normalized by fleet size.
