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.

Expected crash rate is about the same as similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 100–199 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 7 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3.5 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death) and 3 with injuries; similar fleets have about 3.4 a year. The grade counts 11 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.45× and out-of-service orders 0.48× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -10%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

This third-party news report covers a crash with the same date, place and number of deaths, matched automatically. It may not name DOUG BRADLEY TRUCKING INC and doesn't establish fault.

About “In the news”: these links go to third-party news reports that FRED Score matched automatically to FMCSA crash records — same date and place, with a truck or bus involved, and the same number of deaths or, for a crash that released hazardous materials, the release — and checked a second time before showing. A link doesn't mean this motor carrier caused the crash: FMCSA crash reports don't assign fault, and news coverage can be incomplete or wrong. FRED Score doesn't verify or endorse what the articles say.
