Roadside inspections and crashes
The 24 months from 2024-10-28, as state inspectors and police reported them to FMCSA. Same counting as FMCSA's SAFER snapshot.
| Inspections | Out of service | Out-of-service rate | National average | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle | 0 | 0 | — | 22.26% |
| Driver | 0 | 0 | — | 6.67% |
No roadside inspections in this window. No reported crashes in this window.
Source: FMCSA Vehicle Inspection File and Crash File, read 2026-10-28 23:00 UTC. National averages from FMCSA's SAFER snapshot, as of 2026-09-25. A crash on the record is not a finding of fault.
Safety summary: too few roadside inspections to summarize. 0 vehicle and 0 driver inspections from 2024-10-28 to 2026-10-28 (Vehicle Inspection File); we compare a rate only from 5 inspections of that kind. 0 reported crashes in the same 24 months (Crash File).
What this summary is: a count of how many of this carrier's two out-of-service rates sit above FMCSA's national averages, worked out from the public files cited here. FMCSA's BASIC percentiles rank a carrier against a peer group; this summary uses no peer group and gives no percentile or score. Crashes are counted with no national crash average beside them.
How this was worked out
Every input, the FMCSA file it came from, and the dates it covers. Inspection counts are the Vehicle Inspection File rows for USDOT 1022027 with an inspection date on or after 2024-10-28; crash counts are the Crash File rows for the same USDOT with a report date on or after 2024-10-28, each crash once, under its worst outcome. Read 2026-10-28 23:00 UTC.
| Input | Number | Source | Window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle inspections (levels 1, 2, 5 and 6) | 0 | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-28 to 2026-10-28 |
| Vehicle inspections with the vehicle put out of service | 0 | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-28 to 2026-10-28 |
| Driver inspections (levels 1, 2, 3 and 6) | 0 | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-28 to 2026-10-28 |
| Driver inspections with the driver put out of service | 0 | Vehicle Inspection File | 2024-10-28 to 2026-10-28 |
| Reported crashes | 0 (0 fatal, 0 injury, 0 tow-away only) | Crash File | 2024-10-28 to 2026-10-28 |
| National vehicle out-of-service average | 22.26% | FMCSA SAFER Company Snapshot | as of 2026-09-25 |
| National driver out-of-service average | 6.67% | FMCSA SAFER Company Snapshot | as of 2026-09-25 |
The arithmetic
- Vehicle: 0 inspections, fewer than 5, so no comparison. With 5 inspections one more out-of-service result moves the rate by 1 ÷ 5 × 100 = 20 points; with fewer it moves more.
- Driver: 0 inspections, fewer than 5, so no comparison. With 5 inspections one more out-of-service result moves the rate by 1 ÷ 5 × 100 = 20 points; with fewer it moves more.
- No rate had enough inspections, so there is no summary line.
