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 property-carrier model; 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).

Operating authority suspended Aug 1, 2026; reinstated Sep 25, 2026

FMCSA suspended it for insurance: no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file. FMCSA's new registration system launched May 14, 2026 and has recorded some insurance suspensions and requirement changes in error; confirm with the insurer or motor carrier before acting.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record.

  • Authority was suspended for insurance
    FMCSA suspended the operating authority on Aug 1, 2026 (no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file) and reinstated it on Sep 25, 2026. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet between Aug 1, 2026 and Sep 25, 2026, and who ended the policy and why.
  • Little roadside history
    Only 0 inspections in 24 months for 20 power units; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size.
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.

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/694199
