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 (0.69× 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 32 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 6 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.

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).

Operating authority suspended Jul 1, 2026; reinstated Aug 29, 2026

FMCSA suspended it for insurance: no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file. FMCSA's new registration system launched May 14, 2026 and has recorded some insurance suspensions and requirement changes in error; confirm with the insurer or motor carrier before acting.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

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.

Worse than peers. Violations 1.45× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they barely move its crash estimate.

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.

  • Authority was suspended for insurance
    FMCSA suspended the operating authority on Jul 1, 2026 (no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file) and reinstated it on Aug 29, 2026. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet between Jul 1, 2026 and Aug 29, 2026, and who ended the policy and why.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 7 of 18 violations (39%). Brake or light defects led to 3 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 6 of the 32 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (7 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 32 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.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • 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.
