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

Operating authority suspended Aug 5, 2026; reinstated Aug 29, 2026

FMCSA suspended it for insurance: no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file. FMCSA's new registration system launched May 14, 2026 and has recorded some insurance suspensions and requirement changes in error; confirm with the insurer or motor carrier before acting.

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: interstate fleets of 20–49 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.5× as often as the median active fleet of 20–49 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), all 2 fatal (2 deaths); similar fleets have about 1.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.99× and out-of-service orders 1.27× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +15%.

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.

  • Fatal crashes
    2 crashes with 2 fatalities in 24 months (most recent Oct 12, 2024).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Authority was suspended for insurance
    FMCSA suspended the operating authority on Aug 5, 2026 (no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file) and reinstated it on Aug 29, 2026. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet between Aug 5, 2026 and Aug 29, 2026, and who ended the policy and why.
  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service, 2 no valid CDL (Jan 2025 – May 2025).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    18.2% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (4 of 22). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.27× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 9.1% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
