Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

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 200–499 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 200–499 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 10 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 5 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death) and 4 with injuries; similar fleets have about 6.2 a year. The grade counts 16 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.08× and violations 0.59× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -28%.

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 Jan 1, 2026).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Injury crashes
    4 crashes with 8 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 no valid CDL (Sep 2025 – Nov 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 77 of 182 violations (42%). Brake or light defects led to 22 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 1.7% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1

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.
