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.

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).

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 10–19 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 under a tenth as often as the median active fleet of 10–19 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have under 0.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 1.56× and out-of-service orders 1.38× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.15×. Together they move its crash estimate -14%: 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 grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Apr 2025 – Jul 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 71 of 266 violations (27%). Brake or light defects led to 13 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    36.5% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (19 of 52). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.38× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Cross-border operation
    53 inspections on Mexico-plated units; 65% of all inspections were in Texas.
    Ask: operating radius and Mexico lanes.
Strengths
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 3.6% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
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.
  • 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.
  • Mexico-domiciled motor carrier
    Domiciled in Mexico — cross-border operating rules and inspection patterns differ from US-based motor carriers.
