Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 94 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 19 units seen in 24 months, 0.21 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).

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

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 50–99 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 better, not yet proven. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 2.2 a year. The grade counts 5 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.84× and out-of-service orders 1.30× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +11%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 22 of 64 violations (34%). Brake or light defects led to 5 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    50.0% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (11 of 22). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.30× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 19 of the 94 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (40 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 94 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • 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.
