Note: "General Freight" is a catch-all; the actual cargo mix and its risk may differ.

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

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).

Not enough record to grade yet.

42 inspections and 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

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.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-6 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 (23 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), all 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.8 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.00× and violations 1.65× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +14%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    2 crashes with 3 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 29 of 85 violations (34%). Brake or light defects led to 8 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    47.1% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (8 of 17), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.15× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 6
  • 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.
