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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

8 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.8× as often as the median active fleet of 2–5 trucks.

80% likely range 0.41×–1.96×

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 (3 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 6% above typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Violations 1.75× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +4%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lapse in liability filings
    195 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record, the longest of 2 lapses in 36 months while the authority required one. A filing received later can be back-dated and close a lapse. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and wheels & hubs
    Lights are 11 of 19 violations (58%). Light or wheels & hub defects led to 2 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
