Cargo
Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.
Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu1) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.
Runs within Texas only. Intrastate fleets in Texas are inspected about 1 a year for every 3 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. Its roadside record counts the same way as an interstate fleet's.
This carrier is not authorized for interstate for-hire operations. They may still operate legally as an intrastate for-hire carrier.
Not enough record to grade yet.
4 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.
Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of 1 truck with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.
A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-5 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.
Worth a closer look
From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.
-
Brakes and lightsBrakes are 8 of 19 violations (42%). Brake or light defects led to 1 out-of-service order.Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
-
No active operating authorityThe motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
-
Limited inspection historyFewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.
Track record
Intrastate fleets of 1 truck in Texas are rarely inspected: under 1 inspection would be typical in 24 months for a fleet this size; 74% of them had none.

How the estimate 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 (1 power unit: 1 filed, 1 seen roadside in 24 months).
We'd expect a typical fleet of 1 power unit this active to have about 0.0 crashes a year. This motor carrier recorded 0 in its scoring window (Oct 1, 2023 → Sep 30, 2026, about 0.0 a year) — fewer than a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window and the credibility of its own experience, the model projects about 0.0 over the next 12.
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.

SMS record data is sourced from FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (06-AUG-25 – 24-JUN-25) and may cover a different time window than the scoring window used for the FRED grade (Oct 1, 2023 → Oct 31, 2026). Counts here may differ from the grade's in-window counts.
