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

Intrastate Only

Intrastate-only carrier — not required to file MCS-150. May be inspected less frequently than interstate carriers. Safety rates may have lower statistical confidence.

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: private 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.

Leaning Poor. Its estimate (1.70× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.5 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 1.67× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.26×. Together they move its crash estimate -10%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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
    1 crash with 4 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 11 of 27 violations (41%). Brake or tire defects led to 9 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    33.3% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (8 of 24), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.14× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.

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 Wrong or out of date?
