Cargo

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

Intrastate operation

Runs within West Virginia only. Intrastate fleets in West Virginia are inspected about 1 a year for every 3 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. Its roadside record counts the same way as an interstate fleet's.

No Interstate Operating Authority

This carrier is not authorized for interstate for-hire operations. They may still operate legally as an intrastate for-hire carrier.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: intrastate 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history

Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.4 a year.
Roadside inspections

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.

  • Nothing on the FMCSA record stands out.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 7.1% vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers; driver 0.0% vs 8.5%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • No active operating authority
    The motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
