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.

Not Graded

Not graded: under a federal out-of-service order since Jun 8, 2009 (Revoked). A motor carrier that is not operating has no forward exposure to grade; referral.

Stale MCS-150 Filing

This motor carrier has not updated its MCS-150 in over 3 years. Reported mileage and fleet size may be outdated.

Intrastate operation

Runs within Minnesota only. Intrastate fleets in Minnesota are inspected about 1 a year for every 23 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record.

  • Nothing on the FMCSA record stands out.
Data flags
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.

Where it happens

Loading map data…
Data sourced from FMCSA. The FRED Score is an analytical opinion and is not an FMCSA safety rating. Unless a motor carrier has received an Unsatisfactory safety rating under 49 CFR Part 385 or has otherwise been ordered to discontinue operations by FMCSA, it is authorized to operate. This information is provided for informational purposes only and should not be the sole basis for any decision. Report generated · fred-score.com/carrier/108063
