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.

Intrastate operation

Runs within Arizona only. Intrastate fleets in Arizona are inspected about 1 a year for every 10 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.

Not enough record to grade yet.

5 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: intrastate 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.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 2.15× and violations 2.12× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.67×. Together they move its crash estimate +8%: 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.

  • FMCSA BASIC alerts
    Over FMCSA's intervention threshold in driver fitness, drugs & alcohol.
    Ask: any FMCSA warning letters and the corrective-action plan.
  • Driver qualification
    5 out-of-service violations against drivers: 5 no valid CDL (Jan 2025 – Mar 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 8 of 31 violations (26%). Brake or light defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.

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 Wrong or out of date?
