Marginal Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 1 power unit would expect only about 0.0 crashes over the 36-month grade window, and it had 0 inspections 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 30.0 / 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.

The live FMCSA check isn't on hand; see FMCSA status today.

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 Wrong or out of date?
