Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 54 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 8 units seen in 24 months, 0.09 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).

Expected crash rate is about 2.3× that of similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 50–99 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 Critical. Its estimate (2.35× similar fleets) is in the Critical range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Critical line (2.11×), so the grade stays Poor.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 6 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.8 a year. The grade counts 8 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 2.54× and violations 1.30× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +10%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Cargo securement and lights
    Cargo securement are 7 of 15 violations (47%). Cargo securement or light defects led to 7 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 8 of the 54 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (10 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 54 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Dec 2025).
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
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.
  • Historical FMCSA safety rating
    FMCSA once rated this motor carrier Conditional or Unsatisfactory, but the rating is stale or superseded — the motor carrier still holds active operating authority (a current Unsatisfactory would have it revoked), so it does not reflect current standing. Shown for context, not as a current finding.
