Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 2285 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 318 units seen in 24 months, 0.09 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 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).

No Interstate Operating Authority

This carrier is not authorized for interstate for-hire operations. They may still operate legally as an intrastate for-hire carrier.

Expected crash rate is about the same as similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 500+ trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 33 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 16 a year), including 17 with injuries; similar fleets have about 14 a year. The grade counts 42 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Violations 0.06×, out-of-service orders 0.08× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.16× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -47%.

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
    17 crashes with 20 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Oct 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 318 of the 2285 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (440 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 2285 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Nov 2025).
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 1.6% vs 22.3% national; driver 0.5% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
  • 93% of inspections found no violations.
Data flags
  • No active operating authority
    The motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
  • Dangerous driving: 5
  • 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.
