Cargo

54.1

medium risk

General Freight Logs/Poles/Beams/Lumber Building Materials Farm Supplies Construction

High-Risk Cargo: 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.

Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu2_5) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

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 one state. Roadside inspections are rarer for intrastate fleets than for interstate ones, so this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too.

No Interstate Operating Authority

This carrier is not authorized for interstate for-hire operations. They may still operate legally as an intrastate for-hire carrier.

Not enough record to grade yet.

4 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 2–5 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

What the record shows

Crash history

betterworse

Higher so far, not yet proven. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.1 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 6% above typical.

Roadside inspections

betterworse

Mixed. Violations 4.76× and out-of-service orders 1.71× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.71×. Together they move its crash estimate +13%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

Injury crashes

1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.

Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
Driver qualification

2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Jul 2026).

Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.

Data flags

No active operating authority
The motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
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.
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.

How the estimate is calculated

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 (4 power units: 4 filed, 3 seen roadside in 24 months).

Crash Outlook vs Peer Fleet

Average peer fleet

0.1

Actual, per year in window

0.3

Projected, next 12 mo

0.2

0 0.25 0.5

We'd expect a typical fleet of 4 power units this active to have about 0.1 crashes a year. This motor carrier recorded 1 in its scoring window (Oct 1, 2023 → Sep 30, 2026, about 0.3 a year) — about 2.5× a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window and the credibility of its own experience, the model projects about 0.2 over the next 12 — about 1.2× 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.

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).

Track Record Used

Crashes Oct 1, 2023 → Sep 30, 2026 · inspections Nov 1, 2024 → Oct 31, 2026 · data as of Nov 4, 2026

Inside that window: 4 inspections and 1 crash.

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 (0.37×–2.25×) 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 = 0.10

Satisfactory — 1.20x its class rate (cuts: Excellent <0.60, Strong <0.76, Satisfactory <1.06, Marginal <1.57, Poor <2.11). Class rate 0.033 crashes per power-unit-year for a 4-unit for-hire fleet (pu2_5). Violations 1.13x (driver behaviour 0.71x, out-of-service 1.71x, all violations 4.76x; 4 inspections). Experience 1.06x: 0.4 decayed crashes against 0.2 expected over 36 months (credibility 0.10, a 2.05). 80% range 0.37–2.25x. Last change: older crashes rolling off.

Since the previous weekly run the risk relativity moved -1.2%, driven by older crashes rolling off the 36-month ramp.

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.
