Cargo
- High-Risk Cargo
- General Freight, Refrigerated Food, Meat
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.
Runs within California only. Intrastate fleets in California are inspected about 1 a year for every 4 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.
Expected crash rate is about 28% higher than similar fleets.
Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of about 22 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.
-
Brakes and lightsBrakes are 33 of 88 violations (38%). Brake or light defects led to 5 out-of-service orders.Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
-
Falsified logs2 false-log violations in 24 months.Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
-
New since the grade was set1 out-of-service inspection after Jul 31, 2026. Not in the grade yet.
- Vehicle out-of-service rate 15.9% vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers; driver 1.2% vs 8.5%.
- No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Track record
Inspected more often than intrastate fleets of 20–49 trucks in California (about 12 in 24 months would be typical; 41% of them had none).

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 (large).
We'd expect a typical fleet of this size this active to have about 0.6 crashes a year. This motor carrier recorded 5 in its scoring window (Aug 1, 2025 → Jul 31, 2026) — about 8.3× a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window, the model projects about 0.8 over the next 12 — about 1.3× the 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.
