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

Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu2_5) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

Intrastate operation

Runs within California only. Intrastate fleets in California are inspected about 1 a year for every 4 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.

Not enough record to grade yet.

4 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans worse than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but not by enough to grade.

Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of 2–5 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 the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 1.96× and out-of-service orders 1.75× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.71×. Together they move its crash estimate +6%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person 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 (May 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
Data flags
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.

Checking FMCSA…

No MC, FF or MX docket on FMCSA's registration for this motor carrier, so there are no insurance filings to show. FMCSA collects filings only from registered for-hire authorities; other motor carriers keep proof of insurance (MCS-90) at their place of business.

FMCSA filings only, not a policy audit. Not part of the FRED grade. Wrong or out of date?
