Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 164 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 8 units seen in 24 months, 0.13 inspections per filed unit-year. The grade's relativity to class is unchanged; its confidence tier is cut to reflect the unverified exposure, and until the fleet is confirmed an Excellent grade shows as Strong and a Strong as Satisfactory. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

Mileage Unreliable

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).

Operating authority suspended Jul 1, 2026; reinstated Sep 25, 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 about 1.9× that of similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 1.4 a year. The grade counts 13 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.58× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.46× and violations 0.47×. Together they move its crash estimate -7%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Authority was suspended for insurance
    FMCSA suspended the operating authority on Jul 1, 2026 (no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file) and reinstated it on Sep 25, 2026. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet between Jul 1, 2026 and Sep 25, 2026, and who ended the policy and why.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 8 of the 164 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (0 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 164 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.
Data flags
  • Unreliable reported mileage
    The motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
  • Estimated mileage
    No usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
