Forward 12-Month Risk Outlook

The FRED Score predicts this 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 small-sized fleet.

Crash Frequency
0.2 /yr
1.8× typical
~0.1 typical · 1 last yr
Crash Severity

More severe
injury/fatal weighted

We'd expect a typical small-sized fleet this active to have about 0.1 crashes a year. This carrier recorded 1 in the last 12 months — about 11.4× a typical fleet. Factoring in its full inspection and violation record, the model projects about 0.2 over the next 12 — about 1.8× the typical fleet.

Fatal-crash risk: less than a 1% chance in the next 12 months
Modeled fatal-crash rate is roughly 2.1× the typical small fleet (likelihood of at least one fatal crash, from its exposure and safety profile).
Track Record Used
Built from this carrier's most recent 12 months on record: 1 inspection and 1 crash.
Confidence: Moderate
Graded mostly on this carrier's own record (about 184,684 miles/yr, 1 inspection, 1 crash in the last 12 months), partly weighted toward the average small fleet.
