Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes on this page assume the filed fleet of 20 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 4 units seen in 24 months, 0.17 inspections per filed unit-year. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

Not enough record to grade yet.

6 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but not by enough to grade.

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-10 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 (20 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 1.95× and out-of-service orders 1.84× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.59×. Together they move its crash estimate +4%: 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.

  • Hazmat violations
    4 hazmat violations, 1 out of service.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 4 of the 20 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (6 inspections in all). The crash expectation assumes all 20 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Jun 2025).
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.

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 Wrong or out of date?
