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.
The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 67 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 12 units seen in 24 months, 0.11 inspections per filed unit-year. The grade's relativity to class is unchanged; its confidence tier is cut to reflect the unverified exposure, and until the fleet is confirmed an Excellent grade shows as Strong and a Strong as Satisfactory. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.
Intrastate-only carrier — not required to file MCS-150. May be inspected less frequently than interstate carriers. Safety rates may have lower statistical confidence.
Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.
Similar fleets: private fleets of 50–99 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.

-
Filed fleet not seen on the roadOnly 12 of the 67 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (15 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 67 are running.Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.

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.
1 of the 2 crashes was fatal.
Insurance filed with 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 Wrong or out of date?

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 (67 power units: 67 filed, 12 seen roadside in 24 months).
We'd expect a typical fleet of 67 power units this active to have about 1.1 crashes a year — but only 12 of the 67 filed units were seen roadside in 24 months (0.11 inspections per filed unit-year), so this expectation assumes the filed fleet is real. This motor carrier recorded 3 in its scoring window (Sep 1, 2023 → Aug 31, 2026, about 1.0 a year). Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window and the credibility of its own experience, the model projects about 0.9 over the next 12 — below a typical fleet. When this motor carrier does crash, those crashes tend to be substantially more severe than average — roughly 3.3× the injury/fatal weight of a typical crash.
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.
