Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.
Expected crash rate is about the same as similar fleets.
Similar fleets: interstate fleets of about 4 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.
-
Lights and brakesLights are 10 of 39 violations (26%). Light or brake defects led to 9 out-of-service orders.Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
- No reportable crashes in 24 months.
Track record
Inspected about as often as interstate fleets of 2–5 trucks in Texas (about 8 in 24 months would be typical; 31% 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 Wrong or out of date?

How this grade 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 (small).
We'd expect a typical fleet of this size this active to have about 0.2 crashes a year. This motor carrier recorded 1 in its scoring window (Aug 1, 2025 → Jul 31, 2026) — about 5.0× a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window, the model projects about 0.2 over the next 12. 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.
