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 medium-sized fleet.

Crash Frequency
0.3 /yr
1.9× typical
~0.1 typical · 1 last yr
Crash Severity
3.5× per crash
More severe
injury/fatal weighted

We'd expect a typical medium-sized fleet this active to have about 0.1 crashes a year. This carrier recorded 1 in the last 12 months — about 6.8× a typical fleet. Factoring in its full inspection and violation record, the model projects about 0.3 over the next 12 — about 1.9× 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 medium 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: 10 inspections and 1 crash.
Confidence: Low Provisional
Provisional grade. With only about 263,158 miles/yr of exposure and 10 inspections / 1 crash on record in the last 12 months, there isn't enough history to judge this carrier's own crash risk, so the grade shown is the expected crash burden for the average medium fleet rather than this carrier's earned record. Provisional grades are capped at Satisfactory — a carrier can't earn a higher grade without a track record — and firm up as it logs more miles, inspections, and time.
