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.
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).
This carrier is not authorized for interstate for-hire operations. They may still operate legally as an intrastate for-hire carrier.
Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.
Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 20–49 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.
Worth a closer look
From the FMCSA record. The grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.
-
Driver qualification1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Jun 2026).Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
-
Brakes and lightsBrakes are 9 of 35 violations (26%). Brake or light defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
- No reportable crashes in 24 months.
- Driver out-of-service rate 2.6% vs 6.7% national.
- No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
-
No active operating authorityThe motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
-
Dangerous driving: 2
-
Unreliable reported mileageThe motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
-
Estimated mileageNo usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
Track record
Inspected about as often as interstate fleets of 20–49 trucks in Maryland (about 44 in 24 months would be typical).

How this grade is calculated
The model, its inputs, the window it scored and its confidence. For actuaries and anyone checking the work.
Forward 12-Month Risk Outlook
The FRED Score predicts this motor carrier's crash risk over the next 12 months — how often they're likely to crash and how severe those crashes tend to be — versus a typical fleet of its size (36 power units: 36 filed, 18 seen roadside in 24 months).
We'd expect a typical fleet of 36 power units this active to have about 1.1 crashes a year. This motor carrier recorded 0 in its scoring window (Oct 1, 2023 → Sep 30, 2026, about 0.0 a year) — fewer than a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window and the credibility of its own experience, the model projects about 0.7 over the next 12 — below a typical fleet.
FRED multiplies three factors: the class rate a fleet of this size, class and activity is expected to run, a violation relativity from its roadside record, and its own crash experience over 36 months weighted by how much exposure stands behind it. The grade is the band of the resulting relativity to class, then the screens.

SMS record data is sourced from FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (02-SEP-26 – 31-JUL-25) and may cover a different time window than the scoring window used for the FRED grade (Oct 1, 2023 → Oct 31, 2026). Counts here may differ from the grade's in-window counts.
