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 lower than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 500+ 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
About typical. 26 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 13 a year), including 6 with injuries; similar fleets have about 15 a year. The grade counts 38 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.78× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.55× and violations 0.66×. 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
    6 crashes with 7 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    17 out-of-service violations against drivers: 10 no valid CDL, 4 hours of service, 3 medical certificate (Dec 2024 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 2 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 8 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 7.2% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 24
  • Excessive speeding: 17
  • Substance violations: 1
  • 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.
