Stale MCS-150 Filing

This motor carrier has not updated its MCS-150 in over 3 years. Reported mileage and fleet size may be outdated.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record.

  • Little roadside history
    Only 0 inspections in 24 months for 16 power units, where intrastate fleets of 10–19 trucks in Virginia average about 4; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size (the MCS-150 was last updated Jul 2003).
Data flags
  • 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.

Where it happens

Loading map data…
Data sourced from FMCSA. The FRED Score is an analytical opinion and is not an FMCSA safety rating. Unless a motor carrier has received an Unsatisfactory safety rating under 49 CFR Part 385 or has otherwise been ordered to discontinue operations by FMCSA, it is authorized to operate. This information is provided for informational purposes only and should not be the sole basis for any decision. Report generated · fred-score.com/carrier/361897
