36 power units 45 drivers 1.5M mi/yr · ~42k per unit
Satisfactory Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 5 of the 36 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months), so the grade can't lean on this motor carrier's own history until the fleet size is confirmed.

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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.64× similar fleets) would put it in Strong; this rule holds it at Satisfactory:

  • Held one band lower (interim): the filed fleet isn't corroborated roadside — see Exposure Unverified below

The downside is never capped.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 36 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 5 units seen in 24 months, 0.11 inspections per filed unit-year. The grade's relativity to class is unchanged; its confidence tier is cut to reflect the unverified exposure, and until the fleet is confirmed an Excellent grade shows as Strong and a Strong as Satisfactory. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

Too little record to tell how this motor carrier's crash rate compares with similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

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 0.8 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.57× and out-of-service orders 0.76× 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 grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 5 of the 36 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (8 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 36 are running. Its grade is held one band lower until the fleet is confirmed.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
