Cargo
Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.
Not graded: under a federal out-of-service order since Jan 29, 2020 (90 Day Failure To Pay Fine). A carrier that is not operating has no forward exposure to grade; referral.
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).
This motor carrier has not updated their MCS-150 in over 3 years. Reported mileage and fleet size may be outdated.
Runs within South Carolina only. Intrastate fleets in South Carolina 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.
Worth a closer look
From the FMCSA record.
-
Injury crashes1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
-
Driver qualification1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Jul 2026).Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
-
Lights and brakesLights are 47 of 111 violations (42%). Light or brake defects led to 12 out-of-service orders.Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
-
Vehicle out-of-service rate83.3% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers (10 of 12).
- Driver out-of-service rate 5.9% vs 8.5% for intrastate motor carriers.
- No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
-
Unreliable reported mileageThe motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
-
Estimated mileageNo usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
Track record
Inspected about as often as intrastate fleets of 20–49 trucks in South Carolina (about 16 in 24 months would be typical; 47% of them had none).

Insurance filed with 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 Wrong or out of date?
