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).

Not enough record to grade yet.

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

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 the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.5 a year. The grade counts 5 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.45× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.77×. Together they barely move its crash estimate.

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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service, 2 no valid CDL (Oct 2024 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    21.1% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (4 of 19). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.45× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • 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.
