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).

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

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Poor. Its estimate (1.58× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.56×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.76× and violations 0.77× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -9%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    2 crashes with 3 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 5 of 14 violations (36%).
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
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.
