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

No Interstate Operating Authority

This carrier has no active interstate operating authority and no intrastate authorization.

Not enough record to grade yet.

4 inspections and 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans worse than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but not by enough to grade.

Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of 10–19 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 0.5× as often as the median active fleet of 10–19 trucks.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-3 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.50× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.71× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -10%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Hazmat violations
    2 hazmat violations.
Data flags
  • No active operating authority
    The motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
