Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes on this page assume the filed fleet of 26 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 5 units seen in 24 months, 0.10 inspections per filed unit-year. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

Not enough record to grade yet.

5 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but not by enough to grade.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-8 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (26 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.5 a year. The grade counts 1 crash in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 2.02× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.76× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +14%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 medical certificate, 1 no valid CDL (Jun 2025 – Aug 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 5 of the 26 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (5 inspections in all). The crash expectation assumes all 26 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.
