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

Expected crash rate is about 33% lower than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.9× as often as the median active fleet of 50–99 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 5 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 14% below typical. The grade counts 9 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.36×, violations 0.38× and out-of-service orders 0.44× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -23%. 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    5 out-of-service violations against drivers: 5 no valid CDL (Sep 2024 – Apr 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and cargo securement
    Lights are 22 of 71 violations (31%). Light or cargo securement defects led to 8 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 6.8% vs 22.3% national; driver 2.1% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.

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 Wrong or out of date?
