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
    13 crashes with 36 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    6 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 medical certificate, 1 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Oct 2024 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and cargo securement
    Brakes are 61 of 290 violations (21%). Brake or cargo securement defects led to 52 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    46.6% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (95 of 204), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 0.87× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
