Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 986 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 140 units seen in 24 months, 0.08 inspections per filed unit-year. The grade's relativity to class is unchanged; its confidence tier is cut to reflect the unverified exposure, and until the fleet is confirmed an Excellent grade shows as Strong and a Strong as Satisfactory. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

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).

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 500+ trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Leaning Marginal. Its estimate (1.14× similar fleets) is in the Marginal range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Marginal line (1.06×), so the grade stays Satisfactory.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Worse than peers. 23 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 12 a year), including 11 with injuries; similar fleets have about 9.7 a year. The grade counts 35 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.23×, out-of-service orders 0.54× and violations 0.59× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -23%.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    11 crashes with 15 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Dec 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 16 of 76 violations (21%). Light or brake defects led to 8 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Hazmat violations
    3 hazmat violations, 2 out of service.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 140 of the 986 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (152 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 986 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Jul 2024).
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.7% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 3
  • 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.
