Garbage/Refuse

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.5× as often as the median active fleet of 50–99 trucks.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Poor. Its estimate (1.67× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 5 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2.5 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.1 a year. The grade counts 6 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.50× the rate expected for its inspections, but violations 0.65×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    2 crashes with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 no valid CDL, 1 medical certificate (Jul 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • Historical FMCSA safety rating
    FMCSA once rated this motor carrier Conditional or Unsatisfactory, but the rating is stale or superseded — the motor carrier still holds active operating authority (a current Unsatisfactory would have it revoked), so it does not reflect current standing. Shown for context, not as a current finding.

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 Wrong or out of date?
