Intrastate operation

Runs within North Carolina only. Intrastate fleets in North Carolina are inspected about 1 a year for every 2 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 an 80% 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.

betterworse

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.

  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    50.0% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers (8 of 16). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.66× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 8.5% for intrastate motor carriers.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
