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.

Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu2_5) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

Operating authority suspended since Oct 9, 2026

FMCSA suspended it for insurance: no liability filing and no process-agent (BOC-3) filing 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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

No inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 2–5 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-5 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (2 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have under 0.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
No roadside record. No inspections in the scoring window, so roadside results leave its estimate at typical.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Operating authority suspended for insurance
    FMCSA suspended its operating authority on Oct 9, 2026: no liability filing and no process-agent (BOC-3) filing on file (minimum $750,000). Not reinstated on FMCSA's record through Nov 2, 2026. 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. Not in the grade.
    Ask: whether FMCSA's record is correct, what covered the fleet since Oct 9, 2026, and why the policy ended.
Data flags
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.
