Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 74 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 16 units seen in 24 months, 0.16 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).

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

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.5 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 13% below typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.58× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.58×. Together they move its crash estimate -3%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 3 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Oct 2024).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 12 of 30 violations (40%). Brake or light defects led to 5 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    50.0% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (8 of 16). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.58× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 16 of the 74 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (26 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 74 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Oct 2026).
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 3.8% vs 6.7% national.
  • 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.
  • Estimated mileage
    No usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.

Checking FMCSA…

No MC, FF or MX docket on FMCSA's registration for this motor carrier, so there are no insurance filings to show. FMCSA collects filings only from registered for-hire authorities; other motor carriers keep proof of insurance (MCS-90) at their place of business.

FMCSA filings only, not a policy audit. Not part of the FRED grade. Wrong or out of date?
