Cargo
Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.
Runs within California only. Intrastate fleets in California are inspected about 1 a year for every 4 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.
Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.
Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of 10–19 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 crashes1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
-
Drivers put out of service4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 hours of service (Sep 2025 – Aug 2026).Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
-
Brakes and lightsBrakes are 50 of 107 violations (47%). Brake or light defects led to 18 out-of-service orders.Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
-
Vehicle out-of-service rate60.7% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers (17 of 28). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 3.68× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
-
Driver out-of-service rate18.2% of driver inspections end out of service vs 8.5% for intrastate motor carriers (4 of 22). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 3.68× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
-
Falsified logs2 false-log violations in 24 months.Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
- No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
-
Dangerous driving: 1
Track record
Inspected more often than intrastate fleets of 6–9 trucks in California (about 6 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 Wrong or out of date?

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 (12 power units: 8 filed, 12 seen roadside in 24 months).
We'd expect a typical fleet of 12 power units this active to have about 0.4 crashes a year (sized from the 12 units seen roadside; 8 filed). This motor carrier recorded 4 in its scoring window (Sep 1, 2023 → Aug 31, 2026, about 1.3 a year) — about 3.1× a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window and the credibility of its own experience, the model projects about 0.8 over the next 12 — about 2.0× the typical fleet. When this motor carrier does crash, those crashes tend to be substantially more severe than average — roughly 3.4× the injury/fatal weight of a typical crash.
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.
