HazMat Intrastate Only
Satisfactory Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 3 of the 35 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months), so the grade can't lean on this motor carrier's own history until the fleet size is confirmed. Intrastate fleets of 20–49 trucks in Wisconsin are rarely inspected (about 1 a year for every 14 trucks), so the roadside record can't confirm the fleet either way.

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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.62× similar fleets) would put it in Strong; this rule holds it at Satisfactory:

  • Upside withheld: under 0.1 inspections per filed power unit

The downside is never capped.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 35 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 3 units seen in 24 months, 0.04 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).

Intrastate operation

Runs within Wisconsin only. Intrastate fleets in Wisconsin are inspected about 1 a year for every 13 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.

Too little record to tell how this motor carrier's crash rate compares with similar fleets.

Similar fleets: intrastate 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.53×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.77× and violations 0.80× 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.

  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 3 of the 35 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (3 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 35 are running. Intrastate fleets of 20–49 trucks in Wisconsin are rarely inspected (about 1 a year for every 14 trucks), so the roadside record can't confirm the fleet either way.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Apr 2026).
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.
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.
