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.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes on this page assume the filed fleet of 13 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 3 units seen in 24 months, 0.08 inspections per filed unit-year. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

Intrastate operation

Runs within one state. Roadside inspections are rarer for intrastate fleets than for interstate ones, so this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too.

High Utilization Fleet

This motor carrier reports 230,769 miles per power unit annually, which exceeds typical single-driver limits (~150,000–180,000 miles/year). This motor carrier is still rated, but the high utilization may indicate:

  • Team driving operations where trucks run nearly 24/7 with rotating drivers
  • Stale fleet count in MCS-150 (power units not updated while operations expanded)
  • Data entry anomaly in annual mileage reporting
  • Expedited/dedicated routes with unusually high truck utilization

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: interstate 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-6 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 (13 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.41× the rate expected for its inspections, but violations 0.65×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: 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
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 3 of the 13 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (2 inspections in all). The crash expectation assumes all 13 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Apr 2026).
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.

Checking FMCSA…

No MC, FF or MX docket on FMCSA's registration for this motor carrier, so there are no insurance filings to show. FMCSA collects filings only from registered for-hire authorities; other motor carriers keep proof of insurance (MCS-90) at their place of business.

FMCSA filings only, not a policy audit. Not part of the FRED grade. Wrong or out of date?
