Estimated from public FMCSA data · updated 2026-06-07 · How we calculate this

Phoenix Communications Inc is a private property carrier based in Shrewsbury, MA, operating 87 power units and 72 drivers since 2004. In 2024, the carrier logged 2.4 million miles and underwent 36 inspections. Vehicle out-of-service rate was 53.3% compared to the snapshot benchmark of 21.2%; driver out-of-service rate was 16.7% versus 5.2%. HaulReport-estimated percentiles place the carrier at 24.6 for controlled substances (low band), 53.0 for hours-of-service compliance (moderate band), and 72.0 for vehicle maintenance (moderate band)—an independent estimate, not an official FMCSA or CSA score.

HaulReport interpretation — automatically generated from the public FMCSA data below and our percentile estimates, and checked against those source figures.

Driver OOS16.7%above the 5.2% snapshot benchmark · 36 inspections

Out-of-service rate = inspections resulting in an out-of-service order ÷ inspections. The benchmark is the inspection-weighted rate across this FMCSA snapshot — not an official national average. Rates are shown only with at least 5 inspections.

FMCSA sets each carrier's biennial update month from the last two digits of the USDOT number (last digit → month, second-to-last digit → odd/even year) — it is required even when nothing has changed. This is a schedule derived from the public rule, not a compliance determination. Verify and file on FMCSA · Deadline calculator
