Cargo

28.9
low risk
Other: RECYCLING Garbage/Refuse

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

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 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 17 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 8.5 a year), including 5 with injuries; similar fleets have about 5.4 a year. The grade counts 27 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Violations 0.36×, out-of-service orders 0.39× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.40× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -23%.

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
    5 crashes with 6 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification

    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.

    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.

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 Wrong or out of date?
