Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 29 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 5 units seen in 24 months, 0.05 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.

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).

Intrastate operation

Runs within Indiana only. Intrastate fleets in Indiana are inspected about 1 a year for every 15 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.

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

Similar fleets: intrastate 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.

Leaning Poor. Its estimate (1.58× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 2.00× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.77×. Together they move its crash estimate +3%: 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.

  • Tires and lights
    Tires are 4 of 13 violations (31%). Tire or light defects led to 1 out-of-service order.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 5 of the 29 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (3 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 29 are running. Intrastate fleets of 20–49 trucks in Indiana are rarely inspected (about 1 a year for every 13 trucks), so the roadside record can't confirm the fleet either way.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Jun 2025).
Strengths
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
Data flags
  • 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.
  • 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?
