Satisfactory Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 11 of the 250 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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.40× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; these rules hold it at Satisfactory:

  • Excellent withheld: driver-behaviour relativity above 1.0×
  • Held one band lower (interim): the filed fleet isn't corroborated roadside — see Exposure Unverified below

The downside is never capped.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 250 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 11 units seen in 24 months, 0.06 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.

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

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 200–499 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much better than peers. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 2.4 a year. The grade counts 1 crash in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 4.51× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +19%.

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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 3 hours of service, 1 other (Dec 2024 – Mar 2025).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Falsified logs
    5 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 2 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 1 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 11 of the 250 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (28 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 250 are running. Its grade is held one band lower until the fleet is confirmed.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Dec 2025).
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 14.3% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
