Note: "General Freight" is a catch-all; the actual cargo mix and its risk may differ.

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

Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu2_5) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

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).

Not enough record to grade yet.

34 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 2–5 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 under a tenth as often as the median active fleet of 2–5 trucks.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-5 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (3 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have under 0.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 2.04× and violations 1.95× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.22×. Together they move its crash estimate -6%: 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 estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Driver qualification
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 3 no valid CDL (Mar 2025 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 58 of 211 violations (27%). Brake or light defects led to 11 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    55.9% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (19 of 34). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 2.04× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Cross-border operation
    32 inspections on Mexico-plated units; 56% of all inspections were in Texas.
    Ask: operating radius and Mexico lanes.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
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.
  • Mexico-domiciled motor carrier
    Domiciled in Mexico — cross-border operating rules and inspection patterns differ from US-based motor carriers.
