What a 88/100 Carrier Intelligence Score Means
The Carrier Intelligence Score is FileFlo's own summary of three public FMCSA components for PALMER BUS SERVICE OF ST CLOUD INC: the safety rating, the inspection pass rate and the out-of-service rate against the national average. It is not an FMCSA score, and FMCSA does not use it to choose carriers for an investigation. 88 out of 100 falls in FileFlo's Low Risk band.
Authority Type, Hazmat Status, and Operating Profile
PALMER BUS SERVICE OF ST CLOUD INC is classified by FMCSA as an intrastate non-hazmat carrier.
The carrier holds an Authorized For Hire classification, meaning it transports cargo or passengers for compensation under FMCSA operating authority and is subject to MC-number requirements at 49 CFR Part 365.
PALMER BUS SERVICE OF ST CLOUD INC is not flagged in FMCSA Census as a hazmat carrier (HM indicator: N), so the carrier is not subject to the additional 49 CFR Subchapter C hazmat regulations.
Operational range per MCS-150 filing: intrastate within 100 miles (46 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.
Fleet Composition and Driver Profile
Intrastate driver count: 46. Intrastate drivers may be subject to state-specific CDL endorsement and hours-of-service variances depending on the state.
