Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage is missing or zero despite observed safety 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 about 39% higher than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of about 31 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Leaning Marginal. Its estimate (1.39× similar fleets) is in the Marginal range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Marginal line (1.06×), so the grade stays Satisfactory.

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.

  • Fatal crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Jun 16, 2025).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Little roadside history
    Only 0 inspections in 24 months for 31 power units, where interstate fleets of 20–49 trucks in Oregon average about 24; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size (the MCS-150 was last updated Oct 2024).
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.
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.
