What's New in FRED
1.0.6
October 29, 2026
A fresh new look. FRED has been redesigned from top to bottom. • Home leads with your fleet: a recap of what changed, your Fleet snapshot and score trend, with search and Scan at the top. • Carrier screens open on the FRED Score and grade, then the 12-month outlook, track record, summary and the full FMCSA record. • In the news: a carrier's notable crashes now link to the news reports about them. • Scan faster: long-press the FRED icon on your Home Screen and tap "Scan a USDOT number". • If FRED asks for your passcode every time, Account now shows how to turn Face ID back on. • Fixes: screens no longer slide sideways.
