Cargo
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 (pu1) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.
Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.
Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 1 truck 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 crash1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Nov 10, 2025).Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
-
Limited inspection historyFewer 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.
Track record
Inspected more often than interstate fleets of 1 truck in North Carolina (about 2 in 24 months would be typical; 50% of them had none).
| This motor carrier | Peers | |
|---|---|---|
| Crashes | 0.500 | 0.050 |
| Inspections | 2.50 | 1.52 |
| Violations | 2.50 | 1.23 |
| Critical violations | 0.50 | 0.19 |
Yearly rates from the last 24 months. Peers: interstate fleets, Owner-Operator power units, minimal-risk cargo.

Why this link: FMCSA crash report VA0253240265 (Virginia State Police) lists RONALD DAVID OWNLEY SR’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 RONALD DAVID OWNLEY SR 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.
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 (1 power unit: 1 filed, 1 seen roadside in 24 months).
We'd expect a typical fleet of 1 power unit this active to have about 0.0 crashes a year. This motor carrier recorded 1 in its scoring window (Oct 1, 2023 → Sep 30, 2026, about 0.3 a year) — about 9.4× a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window and the credibility of its own experience, the model projects about 0.1 over the next 12 — about 1.8× the typical fleet. 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.
- 2 inspections with no out-of-service result
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.
