Intrastate operation

Runs within Texas only. Intrastate fleets in Texas are inspected about 1 a year for every 3 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. Its roadside record counts the same way as an interstate fleet's.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: intrastate 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.

Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 2.34× and out-of-service orders 1.85× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.63×.

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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    5 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 no valid CDL, 1 hours of service (Apr 2025 – Feb 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 36 of 143 violations (25%). Light or brake defects led to 15 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    44.4% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers (12 of 27). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.85× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1

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 Wrong or out of date?
