Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

No Interstate Operating Authority

This carrier is not authorized for interstate for-hire operations. They may still operate legally as an intrastate for-hire carrier.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

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
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 1.2 a year. The grade counts 1 crash in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Violations 1.91×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.56× and out-of-service orders 1.30× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +13%: 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.

  • Driver qualification
    6 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 no valid CDL, 2 medical certificate (May 2025 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 5 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 14.3% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • No active operating authority
    The motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • Excessive speeding: 13
