Note: "General Freight" is a catch-all; the actual cargo mix and its risk may differ.

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

Not Graded

Not graded yet: the fleet size is confirmed (roadside inspections saw 1,689 different trucks of this carrier in the last 12 months; 10,341 drivers on file). Above 5,000 power units a FRED grade moved between bands too often from month to month to publish (tested November 2026). Fleets this size are checked again in mid-2027.

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.
