Garbage/Refuse
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 about half that of similar fleets.

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 better, not yet proven. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 1.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.14×, out-of-service orders 0.30× and violations 0.36× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -33%. 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.

  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Oct 2024).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 15 of 25 violations (60%). Light or brake defects led to 2 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 3.4% vs 22.3% national; driver 1.7% vs 6.7%.
  • 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.

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 Wrong or out of date?
