HazMat Intrastate Only
Critical Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 8 power units would expect only about 0.0 crashes over the 36-month scoring window, and it had 0 inspections and 3 crashes in that time, so the grade leans mostly on what's typical for similar fleets and can move as more inspections and time on the road build up.

Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu6_9) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

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).

Stale MCS-150 Filing

This motor carrier has not updated their MCS-150 in over 3 years. Reported mileage and fleet size may be outdated.

Intrastate operation

Runs within Missouri only. Intrastate fleets in Missouri are inspected about 1 a year for every 9 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 about 5.3× that of similar fleets.

Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of 6–9 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 under a tenth as often as the median active fleet of 6–9 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death); similar fleets have under 0.1 a year. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
No roadside record. No inspections in the scoring window, so roadside results leave its estimate at typical.

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 Jan 21, 2026).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Little roadside history
    Only 0 inspections in 24 months for 8 power units, where intrastate fleets of 6–9 trucks in Missouri average about 2; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size (the MCS-150 was last updated Apr 2011).
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.

    Why this link: FMCSA crash report MO0000117846 (MOMHPII00) lists LESTER E COX MEDICAL CENTERS’s truck in this crash. This third-party news report covers a crash with the same date, place and number of deaths, matched automatically. It may not name LESTER E COX MEDICAL CENTERS and doesn't establish fault.

About “In the news”: these links go to third-party news reports that FRED Score matched automatically to FMCSA crash records — same date and place, with a truck or bus involved, and the same number of deaths or, for a crash that released hazardous materials, the release — and checked a second time before showing. A link doesn't mean this motor carrier caused the crash: FMCSA crash reports don't assign fault, and news coverage can be incomplete or wrong. FRED Score doesn't verify or endorse what the articles say.

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?
