Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu6_9) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage appears implausibly high for fleet size. 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).

High Utilization Fleet

This motor carrier reports 260,000 miles per power unit annually, which exceeds typical single-driver limits (~150,000–180,000 miles/year). This motor carrier is still rated, but the high utilization may indicate:

  • Team driving operations where trucks run nearly 24/7 with rotating drivers
  • Stale fleet count in MCS-150 (power units not updated while operations expanded)
  • Data entry anomaly in annual mileage reporting
  • Expedited/dedicated routes with unusually high truck utilization

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: interstate fleets of 6–9 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 2.2× as often as the median active fleet of 6–9 trucks.

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
Much worse than peers. Violations 3.27×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.36× and out-of-service orders 1.37× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +24%. 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 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lights and tires
    Lights are 25 of 80 violations (31%). Light or tire defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    45.5% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (5 of 11). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.37× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • 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.
