Its risk relativity (0.60× similar fleets) would put it in Strong; this rule holds it at Satisfactory:
- Upside withheld: under 0.1 inspections per filed power unit
The downside is never capped.
The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 507 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 42 units seen in 24 months, 0.05 inspections per filed unit-year. The grade's relativity to class is unchanged; its confidence tier is cut to reflect the unverified exposure, and until the fleet is confirmed an Excellent grade shows as Strong and a Strong as Satisfactory. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.
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).
Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.
Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 500+ trucks 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.
-
Hazmat violations1 hazmat violation, 1 out of service.
-
Filed fleet not seen on the roadOnly 42 of the 507 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (51 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 507 are running.Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Aug 2025).
- 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
- Vehicle out-of-service rate 4.3% vs 22.3% national; driver 2.0% vs 6.7%.
- No FMCSA BASIC alerts.

Dangerous driving: 2

Excessive speeding: 14
-
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.

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 (507 power units: 507 filed, 42 seen roadside in 24 months).
We'd expect a typical fleet of 507 power units this active to have about 3.1 crashes a year — but only 42 of the 507 filed units were seen roadside in 24 months (0.05 inspections per filed unit-year), so this expectation assumes the filed fleet is real. This motor carrier recorded 7 in its scoring window (Oct 1, 2023 → Sep 30, 2026, about 2.3 a year) — fewer than a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window and the credibility of its own experience, the model projects about 1.8 over the next 12 — below a typical fleet. When this motor carrier does crash, those crashes tend to be substantially more severe than average — roughly 3.2× the injury/fatal weight of a typical crash.
- 5 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.
- Upside withheld: under 0.1 inspections per filed power unit
