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

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes on this page assume the filed fleet of 14 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 2 units seen in 24 months, 0.07 inspections per filed unit-year. 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).

Intrastate operation

Runs within one state. Roadside inspections are rarer for intrastate fleets than for interstate ones, so this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too.

No Interstate Operating Authority

This carrier is not authorized for interstate for-hire operations. They may still operate legally as an intrastate for-hire carrier.

Not enough record to grade yet.

2 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 10–19 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-7 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (14 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.2 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.66× and violations 1.55× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +6%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 2 of the 14 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (2 inspections in all). The crash expectation assumes all 14 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Apr 2025).
Data flags
  • No active operating authority
    The motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
  • 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.
