Cargo
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 North Carolina only. Intrastate fleets in North Carolina are inspected about 1 a year for every 2 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. Its roadside record counts the same way as an interstate fleet's.
Expected crash rate is about 1.9× that of similar fleets.
Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of about 8 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 crashes3 crashes with 6 people hurt in 24 months.Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
-
Driver qualification1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Mar 2026).Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
-
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 about as often as intrastate fleets of 6–9 trucks in North Carolina (about 8 in 24 months would be typical; 46% 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 Wrong or out of date?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 (medium).
We'd expect a typical fleet of this size this active to have about 0.2 crashes a year. This motor carrier recorded 4 in its scoring window (Aug 1, 2025 → Jul 31, 2026) — about 18.7× a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window, the model projects about 0.4 over the next 12 — about 1.9× 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.
