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 an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 20–49 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.8 a year. The grade counts 6 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.58× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.50× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +10%: 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
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 8 of 18 violations (44%). Light or brake defects led to 1 out-of-service order.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Substance violations: 1
  • 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.
