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.

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).

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 6 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3 a year); similar fleets have about 2 a year. The grade counts 8 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.38× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +5%. 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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service (Apr 2026 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 40 of 136 violations (29%). Brake or light defects led to 10 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 2 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 3 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    35.1% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (20 of 57), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.03× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • 6 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 1.9% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 8
  • Unreliable reported mileage
    The motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.
