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).

Not enough record to grade yet.

16 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.

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

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (22 power units).
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), all 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.6 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.55× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -7%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    2 crashes with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Aug 2025 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 7.7% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
  • 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.
