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 probably higher than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.6 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 13% above typical. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 3.06×, violations 1.65× and out-of-service orders 1.50× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +22%.

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.

  • FMCSA suspension notice pending
    FMCSA served a notice on Nov 3, 2026: the operating authority will be suspended on Dec 3, 2026 unless the missing filing is restored. The notice does not say which filing. Not in the grade.
    Ask: which filing lapsed and whether it has been refiled.
  • Drivers put out of service
    5 out-of-service violations against drivers: 5 hours of service (Jul 2025 – Apr 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    20.8% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (5 of 24). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.50× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 7.7% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 6
  • 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.
