CIS subtotal normalizes 3 publicly-available FMCSA components (Safety Rating + Inspection Pass Rate + OOS Rate) to a 0-100 surface. CSA SMS BASIC percentiles are not published in FMCSA's public Socrata datasets and the SMS portal at ai.fmcsa.dot.gov is not crawlable at scale, so we surface a transparent "Not measured" rather than fabricate a score component. Carriers with a Compliance Review on record may have published BASIC data on the SAFER snapshot for that DOT.

NEW HORIZONS TELECOM INC: PALMER, Alaska Trucking Company

NEW HORIZONS TELECOM INC is a mid-size fleet operating out of PALMER, Alaska with USDOT number 1721795. The company operates 33 power units and has no published FMCSA safety rating (most active carriers are unrated unless they have undergone a compliance review). Based on our analysis of federal safety data, NEW HORIZONS TELECOM INC has a FileFlo Carrier Intelligence Score (CIS) of 77/100, classified as Moderate Risk.

FMCSA Safety Record & Inspection History

NEW HORIZONS TELECOM INC has undergone 22 recorded DOT inspections. The vehicle out-of-service rate is 9.1%, which is below the national average of 20.72%, suggesting solid vehicle maintenance practices. The driver out-of-service rate is 4.5%, within acceptable range compared to the 5.51% national average.

Recorded Violations and Out-of-Service Status

The public FMCSA record for NEW HORIZONS TELECOM INC carries 20 recorded violations, and the most recent inspection on file is dated 20260729. Across 22 recorded inspections, the record carries 1 driver out-of-service violation and 4 vehicle out-of-service violations.

A recorded violation is what an inspector wrote down at the roadside. It is not a penalty, and it is not an amount owed: FMCSA assesses civil penalties only after a compliance review classifies specific cited violations. The step that changes this record is the document behind each line, so the next move is to see which records an investigator would ask for and which of them exist today.

What a 77/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means

A CIS score of 77 places NEW HORIZONS TELECOM INC in the Moderate Risk category. While not in immediate danger of targeted enforcement, there are areas for improvement. Common issues at this level include inconsistent driver qualification file maintenance, lapsed vehicle inspection schedules, or minor CSA BASIC score creep.

Alaska Trucking Compliance: PALMER Area Carriers

Motor carriers operating in Alaska must comply with both federal FMCSA regulations and state-specific transportation requirements. The PALMER, AK corridor is monitored by FMCSA field offices and state highway patrol units conducting roadside inspections. Carriers based in PALMER should ensure driver qualification files, vehicle inspection reports, and hours-of-service records are current and audit-ready at all times.

FileFlo helps Alaska trucking companies automate compliance document tracking across 600+ document types, including CDL medical cards, annual vehicle inspections, drug & alcohol testing records, and driver training certifications.

Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile

NEW HORIZONS TELECOM INC is classified by FMCSA as an intrastate non-hazmat carrier.

The carrier is classified as Private Property, meaning it transports its own goods incidental to its primary business, exempt from MC-number authority but still subject to safety regulations under 49 CFR Part 390.

NEW HORIZONS TELECOM INC is flagged in FMCSA Census as a hazardous materials carrier (HM indicator: Y). Hazmat carriers are subject to additional regulations under 49 CFR Subchapter C, including HM-126 reporting, HM-232 security planning, and the Hazmat Cargo Tank Annual Inspection requirement (49 CFR 180.407). Hazmat violations carry their own, higher penalty schedule, separate from the general FMCSA schedule.

Operational range per MCS-150 filing: intrastate beyond 100 miles (48 drivers). The 100-mile boundary matters because drivers operating within a 100-air-mile radius qualify for the short-haul exception under 49 CFR 395.1(e)(1), which removes the requirement to maintain RODS for the day.

Self-reported MCS-150 annual mileage: 300,149 miles. MCS-150 mileage feeds the FMCSA SafeStat exposure denominator: drastically understated mileage can artificially inflate CSA BASIC percentile scores by reducing the per-mile exposure baseline. Updates are required every 24 months under 49 CFR 390.19.

Fleet Composition and Driver Profile

Owned equipment per the FMCSA Census filing: 33 straight trucks, 32 trailers. Owned-vs-leased equipment matters for compliance documentation, owned trailers require the carrier to retain annual inspection certificates under 49 CFR 396.17, while leased trailers shift that documentation responsibility to the lease agreement.

The carrier reports 14 CDL-holding drivers on file. Each CDL driver must have a current Driver Qualification File (DQF) maintained per 49 CFR 391.51, including a Medical Examiner's Certificate, an annual MVR review, and a record of road-test results.

Intrastate driver count: 48. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.

Primary cargo type per MCS-150: Equipment, Construct. Cargo type drives which BASIC categories the carrier is monitored under (Hazmat Compliance applies only to HM-flagged carriers; Cargo-Related Crash applies broadly).

How NEW HORIZONS TELECOM INC Compares to the National Average

Across the 22 recorded inspections, NEW HORIZONS TELECOM INC's 9.1% vehicle out-of-service rate sits well below the FMCSA 2024 national average of 20.72%. The 4.5% driver out-of-service rate sits slightly below the 2024 national average of 5.51%. Vehicle OOS-rate variance is the strongest predictor of Vehicle Maintenance BASIC scores in CSA; driver OOS-rate variance is the strongest predictor of Hours-of-Service Compliance + Driver Fitness BASIC scores.

FMCSA's intervention thresholds (the percentile bands that trigger investigator outreach) are roughly 65th percentile for non-passenger non-hazmat carriers (75th for hazmat, 70th for passenger) on each BASIC. Carriers that consistently sit above the national average across multiple BASICs accumulate intervention risk faster than carriers with mixed performance. A single high BASIC alone rarely triggers enforcement; sustained over-threshold performance does.
