Cargo

50.0
medium risk

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

Not Graded

Not graded: passenger operation. The FRED Score is a model for motor carriers of property; a passenger model is a separate study.

Mileage Data Quality Issue

Mileage per power unit is unusually low for a fleet of this size.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record.

  • Little roadside history
    Only 0 inspections in 24 months for 15 power units, where interstate fleets of 10–19 trucks in Iowa average about 14; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size (the MCS-150 was last updated Jun 2025).
Data flags
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.

Insurance filed with FMCSA

Today · live FMCSA check
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 Wrong or out of date?
