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.

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).

Expected crash rate is about 45% lower than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 20–49 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    5 out-of-service violations against drivers: 5 hours of service (Apr 2025 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and wheels & hubs
    Brakes are 6 of 50 violations (12%). Brake or wheels & hub defects led to 7 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    6 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 9.1% vs 22.3% national; driver 3.4% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 5
  • 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.
