Not Graded

Not graded: operating authority revoked since Jan 28, 2026 (Revoked) with no roadside inspection or crash recorded since, and no active authority on file. Graded again once it is seen operating or the authority is reinstated; referral.

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).

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record.

  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Dec 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Little roadside history
    Only 1 inspection in 24 months for 5 power units, where interstate fleets of 2–5 trucks in Illinois average about 6; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size (the MCS-150 was last updated Aug 2024).
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.
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.
  • 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.
