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 39% lower than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 100–199 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 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 100–199 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2 a year), including 3 with injuries; similar fleets have about 2.9 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Violations 0.16×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.23× and out-of-service orders 0.34× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -33%.

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
    3 crashes with 3 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 5 of 16 violations (31%). Light or brake defects led to 3 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Hazmat violations
    1 hazmat violation.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 8.5% vs 22.3% national; driver 0.0% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
  • 84% of inspections found no violations.
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.
