Intrastate Only
Satisfactory Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 2 of the 18 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months), so the grade can't lean on this motor carrier's own history until the fleet size is confirmed.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 18 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 2 units seen in 24 months, 0.06 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.

Intrastate operation

Runs within one state. Roadside inspections are rarer for intrastate fleets than for interstate ones, so this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too.

Too little record to tell how this motor carrier's crash rate compares with similar fleets.

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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.50× the rate expected for its inspections. 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.

  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Dec 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 2 of the 18 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (2 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 18 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Oct 2025).
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.
