Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu6_9) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

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 probably higher than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: private fleets of 6–9 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.4× as often as the median active fleet of 6–9 trucks.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Poor. Its estimate (2.01× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.1 a year. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 1.39× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.65×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: 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.

  • Little roadside history
    Only 3 inspections in 24 months for 9 power units; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size.
Strengths
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
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.
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.

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?
