How this carrier compares Premium

Where this carrier sits among the others

A chart of the out-of-service rate across every carrier in the group, with this carrier marked on it and the margin of error around its own rate.

Drawn against carriers with 101 to 500 inspections, carriers based in Illinois, carriers running 26 to 100 power units and every carrier on file.

Every comparison is included with any plan.

21 of this carrier’s 203 roadside inspections on FMCSA’s rolling three-year file ended in an out-of-service order. Comparison groups are CarrierHelm’s, built from FMCSA’s published inspection counts, fleet sizes and state of domicile across the carriers we hold — a systematic sample of the federal register, not all of it.

“Readers should not draw conclusions about a carrier’s overall safety condition simply based on the data displayed in this system. Unless a motor carrier has received an UNSATISFACTORY safety rating under part 385 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, or has otherwise been ordered to discontinue operations by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, it is authorized to operate on the Nation’s roadways.” FAST Act §5223(d)(2)
