Intrastate Only
Strong Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 1 power unit would expect only about 0.1 crashes over the 36-month scoring window, and it had 29 inspections and 0 crashes in that time, so the grade leans mostly on what's typical for similar fleets and can move as more inspections and time on the road build up.

Mobile Homes General Freight Other: OTHER
High-Risk Cargo
Mobile Homes, General Freight

Note: "General Freight" is a catch-all; the actual cargo mix and its risk may differ.

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

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.55× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; these rules hold it at Strong:

  • Excellent withheld: single power unit
  • Excellent withheld: too little expected exposure to prove it (under 0.3 expected crashes in 36 months)

The downside is never capped.

Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu1) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage appears too low for fleet size given observed 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).

Intrastate operation

Runs within California only. Intrastate fleets in California are inspected about 1 a year for every 4 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.

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

Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of 1 truck with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 2.5× as often as the median active fleet of 1 truck.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Violations 0.07×, out-of-service orders 0.14× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.26× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -40%. 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.

  • Nothing on the FMCSA record stands out.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers; driver 0.0% vs 8.5%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
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.
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.

Intrastate fleets of 1 truck in California are rarely inspected: under 1 inspection would be typical in 24 months for a fleet this size; 87% of them had none.
