Cargo

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.

Stale MCS-150 Filing

This motor carrier has not updated its MCS-150 in over 3 years. Reported mileage and fleet size may be outdated.

Intrastate operation

Runs within South Carolina only. Intrastate fleets in South Carolina 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.

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.

Similar fleets: intrastate 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.7× as often as the median active fleet of 2–5 trucks.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.1 a year. The grade counts 1 crash in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.45× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.67×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Nothing on the FMCSA record stands out.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.

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 Wrong or out of date?
