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

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes on this page assume the filed fleet of 134 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 10 units seen in 24 months, 0.05 inspections per filed unit-year. 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).

Stale MCS-150 Filing

This motor carrier has not updated its MCS-150 in over 3 years. Reported mileage and fleet size may be outdated.

Intrastate operation

Runs within California only. Intrastate fleets in California are inspected about 1 a year for every 4 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.

13 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 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.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-9 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 (134 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.4 a year. The grade counts 2 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.46×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.59× and violations 0.62× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -15%.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 10 of the 134 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (13 inspections in all). The crash expectation assumes all 134 are running. Intrastate fleets of 100–199 trucks in California are rarely inspected (about 1 a year for every 5 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 Mar 2022).
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
  • 85% of inspections found no violations.
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.

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?
