Cargo

50.0
medium risk

Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

Not Graded

Not graded: passenger operation. The FRED Score is a property-carrier model; a passenger model is a separate study.

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).

Stale MCS-150 Filing

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 Reported mileage and fleet size may be outdated.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record.

  • Injury crashes
    2 crashes with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Little roadside history
    Only 1 inspection in 24 months for 35 power units; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size.
Data flags
  • 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.
  • 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.

Checking FMCSA…

No MC, FF or MX docket on FMCSA's registration for this motor carrier, so there are no insurance filings to show. FMCSA collects filings only from registered for-hire authorities; other motor carriers keep proof of insurance (MCS-90) at their place of business.

FMCSA filings only, not a policy audit. Not part of the FRED grade. Wrong or out of date?
