HazMat
Strong Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 4 of the 16 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months), so the grade can't lean on this motor carrier's own history until the fleet size is confirmed.

Note: "General Freight" is a catch-all; the actual cargo mix and its risk may differ.

Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage appears too low for fleet size given observed activity. The per-100k-mile rate benchmarks on this page are excluded; the FRED grade does not use mileage (crash exposure is power-unit-years, violation exposure is inspection counts).

Too little record to tell how this motor carrier's crash rate compares with similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 10–19 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.3× as often as the median active fleet of 10–19 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.2 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.38×, out-of-service orders 0.60× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.71× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -14%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Little roadside history
    Only 4 inspections in 24 months for 16 power units; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size.
Data flags
  • Unreliable reported mileage
    The motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
  • Estimated mileage
    No usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
  • Canada-domiciled motor carrier
    Domiciled in Canada — cross-border operating rules and inspection patterns differ from US-based motor carriers.
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.
