Satisfactory Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 7 of the 83 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months), so the grade can't lean on this motor carrier's own history until the fleet size is confirmed.

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 (0.53× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; these rules hold it at Satisfactory:

  • Excellent withheld: too little expected exposure to prove it (under 0.3 expected crashes in 36 months)
  • Upside withheld: under 0.1 inspections per filed power unit

The downside is never capped.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 83 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 7 units seen in 24 months, 0.05 inspections per filed unit-year. The grade's relativity to class is unchanged; its confidence tier is cut to reflect the unverified exposure, and until the fleet is confirmed an Excellent grade shows as Strong and a Strong as Satisfactory. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage is missing or zero despite observed safety 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).

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

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 50–99 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.7 a year.
Roadside inspections

Better than peers. Violations 0.17× and out-of-service orders 0.33× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -22%.

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.

  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 7 of the 83 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (8 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 83 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Apr 2026).
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.
