Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage appears implausibly high for fleet size. 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 2.0× that of similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.6× as often as the median active fleet of 20–49 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 10 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 5 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 2.2 a year. The grade counts 17 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.55× and out-of-service orders 1.40× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +7%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. 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
    2 crashes with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 3 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Nov 2024 – Jan 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 11 of 61 violations (18%). Brake or tire defects led to 10 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 2 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 3 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 11
  • High speeding: 6
  • Substance violations: 3
  • 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.
