Cargo

34.0
low risk
Other: PEOPLE

Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

Not Graded

Not graded: passenger operation. The FRED Score is a property-carrier model; a passenger model is a separate study.

Stale MCS-150 Filing

This carrier has not updated their MCS-150 in over 3 years. Reported mileage and fleet size may be outdated.

Mileage Data Quality Issue

Mileage per power unit is unusually low for a fleet of this size.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record.

  • Little roadside history
    Only 0 inspections in 24 months for 26 power units; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size.
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.

Where it happens

Loading map data…
Data sourced from FMCSA. The FRED Score is an analytical opinion and is not an FMCSA safety rating. Unless a motor carrier has received an Unsatisfactory safety rating under 49 CFR Part 385 or has otherwise been ordered to discontinue operations by FMCSA, it is authorized to operate. This information is provided for informational purposes only and should not be the sole basis for any decision. Report generated · fred-score.com/carrier/375480
