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 about 29% lower than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 500+ 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 about 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 500+ trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Better than peers. 35 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 18 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death) and 12 with injuries; similar fleets have about 29 a year. The grade counts 52 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.86× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +14%: 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.

  • Fatal crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Nov 2, 2024).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Injury crashes
    12 crashes with 18 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    41 out-of-service violations against drivers: 22 hours of service, 16 no valid CDL, 2 medical certificate (Sep 2024 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 205 of 994 violations (21%). Brake or light defects led to 78 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    27 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 9 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 10 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 4.1% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 21
  • Excessive speeding: 45
  • Substance violations: 5
  • 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.
