- General Freight
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.
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).
Runs within New Jersey only. Intrastate fleets in New Jersey are inspected about 1 a year for every 8 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 48% higher than similar fleets.
Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of about 26 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 3 people hurt in 24 months.Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
-
Driver qualification13 out-of-service violations against drivers: 8 no valid CDL, 5 medical certificate (Nov 2024 – Sep 2026).Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
-
Driver out-of-service rate37.1% of driver inspections end out of service vs 8.5% for intrastate motor carriers (13 of 35).
-
New since the grade was set2 out-of-service inspections after Jul 31, 2026. Not in the grade yet.
- Vehicle out-of-service rate 17.9% vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers.
- No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
-
Dangerous driving: 1
-
Unreliable reported mileageThe motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
-
Estimated mileageNo usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
Track record
Inspected more often than intrastate fleets of 20–49 trucks in New Jersey (about 6 in 24 months would be typical; 51% of them had none).

Insurance filed with 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?

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 0.7 crashes a year. This motor carrier recorded 4 in its scoring window (Aug 1, 2025 → Jul 31, 2026) — about 6.0× a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window, the model projects about 1.0 over the next 12 — about 1.5× 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.
