Four Star Transportation Co operates as a for-hire carrier based in Melvindale, Michigan, with 120 power units and 115 drivers. In 2025, the carrier logged 9.55 million annual miles. Vehicle out-of-service inspections occurred at 45.3%, compared to the snapshot benchmark of 21.2%; driver out-of-service inspections were 2.6%, versus the snapshot benchmark of 5.2%. HaulReport-estimated percentiles show controlled substances at 17th percentile (low band), hours-of-service compliance at 52.4th percentile (moderate band), and vehicle maintenance at 74.5th percentile (moderate band)—an independent estimate, not an official FMCSA or CSA score.
