Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 79 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 16 units seen in 24 months, 0.11 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.

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).

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 50–99 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

What's driving the grade
Crash history

About typical. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death) and 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.5 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.45× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.71× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -8%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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 crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Apr 10, 2026).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Jul 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 16 of the 79 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (16 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 79 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule (the MCS-150 was last updated Sep 2026).
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • 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.

    Why this link: FMCSA crash report NE0226012820 (Platte Co So) lists GEHRING CONSTRUCTION & READY MIX COMPANY INC’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 GEHRING CONSTRUCTION & READY MIX COMPANY INC 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.
