2,152 power units · all owned 2,170 drivers
Satisfactory Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 110 of the 2152 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months), so the grade can't lean on this motor carrier's own history until the fleet size is confirmed.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 2152 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 110 units seen in 24 months, 0.03 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).

Too little record to tell how this motor carrier's crash rate compares with 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 22 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 11 a year), including 10 with injuries; similar fleets have about 15 a year. The grade counts 35 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.05× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.45× and violations 0.54×. 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.

  • Injury crashes
    10 crashes with 13 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL, 1 other qualification, 1 hours of service (Dec 2025 – May 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and tires
    Lights are 5 of 57 violations (9%). Light or tire defects led to 5 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 110 of the 2152 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (139 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 2152 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 9.1% vs 22.3% national; driver 2.2% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
  • Excessive speeding: 12
  • 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.
