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.

Too little record to tell how this motor carrier's crash rate compares with 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.

  • Fatal crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Sep 9, 2026).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • New since the grade was set
    1 crash after Jul 31, 2026. Not in the grade yet.
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.

    Why this link: FMCSA crash report IN0905021584 (ISP PERU 16) lists E & S LEASING TRUCKING INC’s truck in this crash. This third-party news report covers a crash with the same date, place and number of deaths, matched automatically. It may not name E & S LEASING TRUCKING INC and doesn't establish fault. Wrong article?

About “In the news”: these links go to third-party news reports that FRED Score matched automatically to FMCSA crash records — same date and place, with a truck or bus involved, and the same number of deaths or, for a crash that released hazardous materials, the release — and checked a second time before showing. A link doesn't mean this motor carrier caused the crash: FMCSA crash reports don't assign fault, and news coverage can be incomplete or wrong. FRED Score doesn't verify or endorse what the articles say.

No other reportable crashes on the FMCSA record.
