Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 37 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 6 units seen in 24 months, 0.08 inspections per filed unit-year. The grade's relativity to class is unchanged; its confidence tier is cut to reflect the unverified exposure, and until the fleet is confirmed an Excellent grade shows as Strong and a Strong as Satisfactory. 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).

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.7 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.73× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.62×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 6 of the 37 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (7 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 37 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Feb 2026).
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.
