Cargo

low risk
Metal: Sheets/Coils/Rolls

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

Not enough record to grade yet.

14 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 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.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (13 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.5 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.42×, out-of-service orders 0.58× and violations 0.63× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -16%.

Strengths
  • 2 crashes 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 Wrong or out of date?
