Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes on this page assume the filed fleet of 58 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 4 units seen in 24 months, 0.05 inspections per filed unit-year. 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).

Operating authority suspended Aug 27, 2026; reinstated Sep 15, 2026

FMCSA suspended it for insurance: no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file. FMCSA's new registration system launched May 14, 2026 and has recorded some insurance suspensions and requirement changes in error; confirm with the insurer or motor carrier before acting.

Not enough record to grade yet.

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

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 50–99 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-4 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

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 0.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 1.91× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.58×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: 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.

  • Authority was suspended for insurance
    FMCSA suspended the operating authority on Aug 27, 2026 (no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file) and reinstated it on Sep 15, 2026. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet between Aug 27, 2026 and Sep 15, 2026, and who ended the policy and why.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 4 of the 58 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (6 inspections in all). The crash expectation assumes all 58 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Apr 2025).
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
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.
