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).

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 200–499 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 under a tenth as often as the median active fleet of 200–499 trucks.

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 0.4 a year. The grade counts 1 crash in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.05×, out-of-service orders 0.49× and violations 0.61× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -35%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (May 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 348 of 917 violations (38%). Brake or light defects led to 53 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Hazmat violations
    29 hazmat violations, 2 out of service.
  • Cross-border operation
    512 inspections on Mexico-plated units; 70% of all inspections were in Texas.
    Ask: operating radius and Mexico lanes.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 13.6% vs 22.3% national; driver 0.2% vs 6.7%.
  • 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.
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.
  • Mexico-domiciled motor carrier
    Domiciled in Mexico — cross-border operating rules and inspection patterns differ from US-based motor carriers.
