Note: "General Freight" is a catch-all; the actual cargo mix and its risk may differ.

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

Not Graded

Not graded: operating authority revoked since Feb 17, 2026 (Revoked) with no roadside inspection or crash recorded since, and no active authority on file. Graded again once it is seen operating or the authority is reinstated; referral.

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).

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record.

  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Jan 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
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.
