Marginal
Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 2 power units would expect only about 0.1 crashes over the 36-month grade window, and it had 1 inspection and 1 crash in that time, so the grade leans mostly on what's typical for similar fleets and can move as more inspections and time on the road build up.
FRED Score 33.6 / 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.

These records come from FMCSA's Safety Measurement System, May 2025 – May 2025; the grade counts crashes Oct 1, 2023 – Sep 30, 2026 and inspections Nov 1, 2024 – Oct 31, 2026 from FMCSA's weekly files, so counts can differ.
