Cargo

54.1
medium risk
Liquids/Gases General Freight Logs/Poles/Beams/Lumber Chemicals
High-Risk Cargo
General Freight

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 (0.58× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; this rule holds it at Strong:

  • Excellent withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.60× class

The downside is never capped.

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 about 42% lower than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 100–199 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.5× as often as the median active fleet of 100–199 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2 a year), including 3 with injuries; similar fleets have about 3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.12×, violations 0.30× and out-of-service orders 0.63× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -31%.

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
    3 crashes with 5 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    5 out-of-service violations against drivers: 5 no valid CDL (Aug 2025 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Hazmat violations
    8 hazmat violations, 3 out of service.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 14.3% vs 22.3% national; driver 4.5% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • 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.
