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

Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu2_5) 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).

Not enough record to grade yet.

6 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 2–5 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-3 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (4 power units).
What the record shows
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 worse than peers. Violations 5.14×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.98× and out-of-service orders 2.41× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +38%.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Linked to a motor carrier FMCSA shut down
    Both trucks on its inspection and crash records ran under USDOT 4032537 (ALL HANDS LOGISTICS INC, UPPER MARLBORO, MD), put out of service in Mar 2026 for an unpaid FMCSA fine. Trucks also change hands by sale or lease, so this is weaker evidence than a shared officer, phone or address.
    Ask: where these trucks came from, and whether anyone from USDOT 4032537 is involved.
    View USDOT 4032537 →
  • Drivers put out of service
    5 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Apr 2026 – Jul 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 22 of 54 violations (41%). Brake or light defects led to 10 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    3 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
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.
