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).

Not enough record to grade yet.

32 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (2 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.5 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 6.75×, violations 3.00× and out-of-service orders 2.96× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +47%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    25 out-of-service violations against drivers: 15 hours of service, 8 no valid CDL, 2 medical certificate (Apr 2025 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 12 of 94 violations (13%). Light or brake defects led to 5 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    35.0% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (7 of 20). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 2.96× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    59.4% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (19 of 32). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 2.96× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Falsified logs
    3 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
  • Substance violations: 1
  • 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.
