Marginal Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 1 power unit would expect only about 0.1 crashes over the 36-month scoring window, and it had 2 inspections and 1 crash in that time, so the grade leans mostly on what's typical for similar fleets and can move as more inspections and time on the road build up.

Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu1) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 1 truck with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

ExcellentStrongSatisf.MarginalPoorCritical
▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Poor. Its estimate (1.81× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have under 0.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Violations 1.25× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they barely move its crash estimate. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Nothing on the FMCSA record stands out.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
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.
