Cargo
- High-Risk Cargo
- General Freight
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.
Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu6_9) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.
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).
Runs within Texas only. Intrastate fleets in Texas are inspected about 1 a year for every 3 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. Its roadside record counts the same way as an interstate fleet's.
Not enough record to grade yet.
15 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.
Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of 6–9 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.
A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-6 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.
Worth a closer look
From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.
-
Fatal crash1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent May 19, 2025).Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
-
FMCSA BASIC alertsOver FMCSA's intervention threshold in driver fitness, drugs & alcohol.Ask: any FMCSA warning letters and the corrective-action plan.
-
Driver qualification6 out-of-service violations against drivers: 5 no valid CDL, 1 English proficiency (Aug 2025 – Apr 2026).Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
-
Brakes and lightsBrakes are 14 of 54 violations (26%). Brake or light defects led to 7 out-of-service orders.Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
-
Vehicle out-of-service rate53.3% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 30.6% for intrastate motor carriers (8 of 15). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.83× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
-
Driver out-of-service rate21.4% of driver inspections end out of service vs 8.5% for intrastate motor carriers (3 of 14). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.83× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
-
Unreliable reported mileageThe motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
-
Estimated mileageNo usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
Track record
Intrastate fleets of 1 truck in Texas are rarely inspected: under 1 inspection would be typical in 24 months for a fleet this size; 74% 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?

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 (9 power units: 1 filed, 9 seen roadside in 24 months).
We'd expect a typical fleet of 9 power units this active to have about 0.4 crashes a year (sized from the 9 units seen roadside; 1 filed). This motor carrier recorded 1 in its scoring window (Oct 1, 2023 → Sep 30, 2026, about 0.3 a year). Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window and the credibility of its own experience, the model projects about 0.4 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.
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.

SMS record data is sourced from FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (01-SEP-26 – 29-MAY-25) and may cover a different time window than the scoring window used for the FRED grade (Oct 1, 2023 → Oct 31, 2026). Counts here may differ from the grade's in-window counts.
