Satisfactory Provisional: the filed fleet isn't backed up by the roadside record (only 22 of the 380 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 75.0 / 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.
