Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes on this page assume the filed fleet of 10 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 2 units seen in 24 months, 0.05 inspections per filed unit-year. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

Operating authority suspended Jul 15, 2026; reinstated Sep 4, 2026

FMCSA suspended it for insurance: no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file. FMCSA's new registration system launched May 14, 2026 and has recorded some insurance suspensions and requirement changes in error; confirm with the insurer or motor carrier before acting.

Not enough record to grade yet.

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

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.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-5 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (10 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.2 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Violations 1.57× and out-of-service orders 1.57× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +6%: 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.

  • Authority was suspended for insurance
    FMCSA suspended the operating authority on Jul 15, 2026 (no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file) and reinstated it on Sep 4, 2026. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet between Jul 15, 2026 and Sep 4, 2026, and who ended the policy and why.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 2 of the 10 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (2 inspections in all). The crash expectation assumes all 10 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
Data flags
  • 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.
