MID VALLEY DISPOSAL

DOT# 2756366 Kerman, CA Authorized For-Hire
(559) 237-9425 15300 W Jensen Ave, Kerman CA 93630
199 power units · all owned 204 drivers
Intrastate Only
Critical Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 15 of the 199 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months), so the grade can't lean on this motor carrier's own history until the fleet size is confirmed.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 199 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 15 units seen in 24 months, 0.03 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).

Intrastate Only

Intrastate-only carrier — not required to file MCS-150. May be inspected less frequently than interstate carriers. Safety rates may have lower statistical confidence.

Expected crash rate is about 2.5× that of similar fleets.

Similar fleets: private 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. 6 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death) and 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.8 a year. The grade counts 12 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.34× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.43×. Together they move its crash estimate -8%: 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.

  • Fatal crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Feb 23, 2026).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 15 of the 199 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (12 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 199 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.
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.

    Why this link: FMCSA crash report CA4352600735 (Highway Patrol: Fresno County) lists MID VALLEY DISPOSAL’s truck in this crash. This third-party news report covers a crash with the same date, place and number of deaths, matched automatically. It may not name MID VALLEY DISPOSAL and doesn't establish fault. Wrong article?

About “In the news”: these links go to third-party news reports that FRED Score matched automatically to FMCSA crash records — same date and place, with a truck or bus involved, and the same number of deaths or, for a crash that released hazardous materials, the release — and checked a second time before showing. A link doesn't mean this motor carrier caused the crash: FMCSA crash reports don't assign fault, and news coverage can be incomplete or wrong. FRED Score doesn't verify or endorse what the articles say.

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?
