Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.58× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; this rule holds it at Strong:

  • Excellent withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.60× class

The downside is never capped.

Intrastate Only

Intrastate-only carrier — not required to file MCS-150. May be inspected less frequently than interstate carriers. Safety rates may have lower statistical confidence.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: private 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.

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 0.8 a year. The grade counts 1 crash in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.18×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.28× and out-of-service orders 0.64× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -27%.

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 (Nov 2024).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 7.1% vs 22.3% national; driver 3.8% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.

Insurance filed with FMCSA

Today · live FMCSA check
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 Wrong or out of date?
