HazMat Intrastate Only
Poor Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 2 of the 52 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. Intrastate fleets of 50–99 trucks in Indiana are rarely inspected (about 1 a year for every 16 trucks), so the roadside record can't confirm the fleet either way.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 52 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 2 units seen in 24 months, 0.00 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.

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).

Intrastate operation

Runs within Indiana only. Intrastate fleets in Indiana are inspected about 1 a year for every 15 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 an 80% 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.

Leaning Critical. Its estimate (2.40× similar fleets) is in the Critical range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Critical line (2.11×), so the grade stays Poor.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.2 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
No roadside record. No inspections in the scoring window, so roadside results leave its estimate at typical.

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.

  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 2 of the 52 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (0 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 52 are running. Intrastate fleets of 50–99 trucks in Indiana are rarely inspected (about 1 a year for every 16 trucks), so the roadside record can't confirm the fleet either way.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Apr 2024).
Strengths
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
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.
  • 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.
