Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes on this page assume the filed fleet of 43 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 3 units seen in 24 months, 0.07 inspections per filed unit-year. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

Intrastate operation

Runs within Michigan only. Intrastate fleets in Michigan are inspected about 1 a year for every 16 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.

Not enough record to grade yet.

6 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: intrastate 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.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-3 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 (43 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.65× and out-of-service orders 1.39× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +10%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 2 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 1 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 3 of the 43 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (6 inspections in all). The crash expectation assumes all 43 are running. Intrastate fleets of 20–49 trucks in Michigan are rarely inspected (about 1 a year for every 12 trucks), so the roadside record can't confirm the fleet either way.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Oct 2025).
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1

Checking FMCSA…

No MC, FF or MX docket on FMCSA's registration for this motor carrier, so there are no insurance filings to show. FMCSA collects filings only from registered for-hire authorities; other motor carriers keep proof of insurance (MCS-90) at their place of business.

FMCSA filings only, not a policy audit. Not part of the FRED grade. Wrong or out of date?
