High-Risk Cargo
General Freight

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: under a federal out-of-service order since Jan 12, 2026 (Revoked). A carrier that is not operating has no forward exposure to grade; 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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    10 out-of-service violations against drivers: 8 hours of service, 2 no valid CDL (Jan 2025 – Jan 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 30 of 110 violations (27%). Light or brake defects led to 12 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    42.3% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (11 of 26).
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    21.6% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (8 of 37).
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.
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.
