Windstream Communications LLC, operating as Kinetic, is a private property carrier based in Little Rock, Arkansas, with 2,243 power units and 2,168 drivers. The carrier has been registered since 2006 and logged approximately 31.2 million miles in 2025. Vehicle out-of-service inspections occurred at a 31.0% rate compared to the snapshot benchmark of 21.2%, while driver out-of-service inspections were at 8.2% versus the benchmark of 5.2%. HaulReport-estimated percentiles show controlled substances at the 3rd percentile (low band), hours-of-service compliance at the 28.5th percentile (low band), and vehicle maintenance at the 56.6th percentile (moderate band)—an independent estimate, not an official FMCSA or CSA score.
