Livestock, General Freight

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).

Intrastate Only

Intrastate-only carrier — not required to file MCS-150. May be inspected less frequently than interstate carriers. Safety rates may have lower statistical confidence.

Not enough record to grade yet.

11 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: private 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.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. The grade counts 2 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 1.25× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.66×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Lapse in liability filings
    No liability filing on FMCSA's file since May 14, 2023 (1096 days through May 14, 2026) while the authority required one. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Nov 2024).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and tires
    Lights are 10 of 27 violations (37%). Light or tire defects led to 3 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 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.
