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

Intrastate operation

Runs within Oregon only. Intrastate fleets in Oregon are inspected about 1 a year for every 17 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: intrastate 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.4× as often as the median active fleet of 50–99 trucks.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Poor. Its estimate (1.82× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.27×, violations 0.40× and out-of-service orders 0.64× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -22%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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
    2 crashes with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Jun 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 6 of 13 violations (46%). Brake or light defects led to 2 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 21.7% vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers; driver 3.8% vs 8.5%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.

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 Wrong or out of date?
