Intrastate operation

Runs within Maine only. Intrastate fleets in Maine are inspected about 1 a year for every 9 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.

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: intrastate 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.

Crash history

About typical. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 1.2 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 1.67× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.74×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Jul 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 23 of 69 violations (33%). Light or brake defects led to 4 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 20.6% vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers; driver 2.2% vs 8.5%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.

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 Wrong or out of date?
