General Freight

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.

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 one state. Roadside inspections are rarer for intrastate fleets than for interstate ones, so this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too.

Not enough record to grade yet.

20 inspections and 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 10–19 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-4 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (12 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.4 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 15% above typical. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Violations 1.68× and out-of-service orders 1.54× 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 estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Apr 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and tires
    Lights are 17 of 44 violations (39%). Light or tire defects led to 8 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    35.3% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (6 of 17). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.54× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
  • 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.
