39 power units · all owned 59 drivers 1.9M mi/yr · ~49k per unit
Satisfactory Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 6 of the 39 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months), so the grade can't lean on this motor carrier's own history until the fleet size is confirmed.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 39 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 6 units seen in 24 months, 0.09 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.

Too little record to tell how this motor carrier's crash rate compares with similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 20–49 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. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.9 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 9% below typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.31× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.55×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: 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.

  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 6 of the 39 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (6 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 39 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Oct 2026).
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
