Cargo

50.0
medium risk

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 model for motor carriers of property; a passenger model is a separate study.

Mileage Unreliable

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).

Intrastate operation

Runs within Illinois only. Intrastate fleets in Illinois are inspected about 1 a year for every 15 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.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record.

  • Fatal crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Jan 13, 2026).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Injury crashes
    7 crashes with 8 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Little roadside history
    Only 1 inspection in 24 months for 1393 power units, where intrastate fleets of 500+ trucks nationwide average about 26; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size (the MCS-150 was last updated Sep 2025).
Data flags
  • Unreliable reported mileage
    The motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
  • Estimated mileage
    No usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
  • 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 ILX004125143 (Lake Co Sheriff) lists SAFEWAY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES CORP’s bus 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 SAFEWAY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES CORP and doesn't establish fault.

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.

Checking 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?
