Marginal Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 5 of the 37 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months), so the grade can't lean on this motor carrier's own history until the fleet size is confirmed.
FRED Score 30.0 / 100 The FRED Score (0–100, higher is better) compares this motor carrier's expected crash rate with that of similar fleets. It is an analytical opinion, not an FMCSA safety rating.

Today · live FMCSA check

The live FMCSA check isn't on hand; see FMCSA status today.

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 Wrong or out of date?
