low risk

Building Materials Construction

Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage appears too low for fleet size given observed activity. The per-100k-mile rate benchmarks on this page are excluded; the FRED grade does not use mileage (crash exposure is power-unit-years, violation exposure is inspection counts).

Intrastate operation

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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

86 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but not by enough to grade.

Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of 10–19 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 10–19 trucks.

Ask

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (13 power units).

What the record shows

Crash history

betterworse

Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.3 a year.

Roadside inspections

betterworse

Worse than peers. Violations 1.28× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they barely move its crash estimate. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

Drivers put out of service

4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service, 2 English proficiency (Jan 2026 – Jul 2026).

Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
Brakes and lights

Brakes are 54 of 113 violations (48%). Brake or light defects led to 9 out-of-service orders.

Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Falsified logs

2 false-log violations in 24 months.

Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.

Strengths

No reportable crashes in 24 months.
Vehicle out-of-service rate 20.0% vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers; driver 4.7% vs 8.5%.
No FMCSA BASIC alerts.

Data flags

Dangerous driving: 3
Unreliable reported mileage
The motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
Estimated mileage
No usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.

Checking FMCSA…

No MC, FF or MX docket on FMCSA's registration for this motor carrier, so there are no insurance filings to show. FMCSA collects filings only from registered for-hire authorities; other motor carriers keep proof of insurance (MCS-90) at their place of business.

FMCSA filings only, not a policy audit. Not part of the FRED grade. Wrong or out of date?

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 (15 power units: 13 filed, 15 seen roadside in 24 months).

Actual, per year in window

Projected, next 12 mo

0.3

0 0.25 0.5

We'd expect a typical fleet of 15 power units this active to have about 0.3 crashes a year (sized from the 15 units seen roadside; 13 filed). This motor carrier recorded 0 in its scoring window (Sep 1, 2023 → Aug 31, 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 0.3 over the next 12 — below a typical fleet.

Fatal-crash risk: less than a 1% chance in the next 12 months

Modeled fatal-crash rate is about typical for similar fleets (likelihood of at least one fatal crash, from its exposure and safety profile).

Why there is no grade. Every grade but Satisfactory needs at least a 60% posterior past its cut; Satisfactory is what is left when none passes. Here the 80% likely range (0.22×–1.57×) still runs from below the Excellent cut (0.60×) to above the Poor cut (1.57×), so the record can't separate a best-in-class fleet from a poor one and the page shows no grade and no FRED Score. The forecasts are unchanged: in backtests, records this thin crash at their forecast on average but scatter about 2.6× as widely around it as records that support a Satisfactory grade.

Confidence: Low · Z = 0.19

Satisfactory — 0.81x its class rate (cuts: Excellent <0.60, Strong <0.76, Satisfactory <1.06, Marginal <1.57, Poor <2.11). Class rate 0.021 crashes per power-unit-year for a 15-unit for-hire fleet (pu10_19). Violations 1.00x (driver behaviour 0.86x, out-of-service 1.02x, all violations 1.28x; 85 inspections). Experience 0.81x: 0.0 decayed crashes against 0.5 expected over 36 months (credibility 0.19, a 2.05). 80% range 0.22–1.57x. Fleet sized at 15 units from roadside VINs (13 filed). Last change: no change since the last run.

No change since the previous weekly run.

Scoring flags MCS-150 mileage unreliable (mileage is not in the grade) Intrastate operation — rated against intrastate fleets (a class crash rate about 23% lower); roadside inspections are rarer, so the record rests more on crashes Thin record (low credibility: little exposure behind the grade)

What Drives This Score

1.00× = this motor carrier's class rate

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.
