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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.48× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; these rules hold it at Satisfactory:

  • Excellent withheld: a fatal crash inside the window
  • Excellent withheld: driver-behaviour relativity above 1.0×
  • Held one band lower (interim): the filed fleet isn't corroborated roadside — see Exposure Unverified below

The downside is never capped.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 690 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 149 units seen in 24 months, 0.22 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 operation

Runs within one state. Roadside inspections are rarer for intrastate fleets than for interstate ones, so this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too.

Expected crash rate is about half that of similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 500+ 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
Much better than peers. 11 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 5.5 a year), including 1 fatal (2 deaths) and 4 with injuries; similar fleets have about 13 a year. The grade counts 29 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 7.12× and violations 1.57× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +30%.

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.

  • Fatal crash
    1 crash with 2 fatalities in 24 months (most recent Aug 21, 2025).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Injury crashes
    4 crashes with 8 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    25 out-of-service violations against drivers: 22 hours of service, 3 no valid CDL (Sep 2024 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 116 of 437 violations (27%). Brake or light defects led to 26 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    23 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 1 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 7 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 23

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.
