Cargo
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).
Expected crash rate is about one-quarter that of similar fleets.
Similar fleets: interstate fleets of about 245 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.
-
Injury crashes1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
-
Driver qualification6 out-of-service violations against drivers: 6 no valid CDL (May 2025 – Mar 2026).Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
-
Brakes and lightsBrakes are 48 of 104 violations (46%). Brake or light defects led to 13 out-of-service orders.Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
-
New since the grade was set2 out-of-service inspections after Jul 31, 2026. Not in the grade yet.
- Vehicle out-of-service rate 12.6% vs 22.3% national; driver 1.5% vs 6.7%.
- No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
- 81% of inspections found no violations.
-
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 more often than interstate fleets of 200–499 trucks in Alaska (about 162 in 24 months would be typical).

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 Wrong or out of date?

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 (xlarge).
We'd expect a typical fleet of this size this active to have about 7.1 crashes a year. This motor carrier recorded 3 in its scoring window (Aug 1, 2025 → Jul 31, 2026) — fewer than a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window, the model projects about 1.9 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 3.2× the injury/fatal weight of a typical crash.
