30 inspections and 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 20–49 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-6 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (20 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death); similar fleets have about 0.7 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.48×, out-of-service orders 0.58× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.78× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -12%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

Worth a closer look
