Estimated from public FMCSA data · updated 2026-06-07 · How we calculate this

Sweet Express LLC is a for-hire motor carrier based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, operating 429 power units with 325 drivers since 2003. In 2025, the carrier logged approximately 21.1 million miles and underwent 830 inspections. Vehicle out-of-service rates were 27.6%, exceeding the snapshot benchmark of 21.2%, while driver out-of-service rates were 1.6%, below the snapshot benchmark of 5.2%. HaulReport-estimated performance shows controlled substances violations at the 7.4th percentile (low band), hours-of-service compliance at the 74.1st percentile (moderate band), and vehicle maintenance at the 66.4th percentile (moderate band)—these are independent estimates, not official FMCSA or CSA scores.

HaulReport interpretation — automatically generated from the public FMCSA data below and our percentile estimates, and checked against those source figures.
