Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 500+ trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Worse than peers. 96 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 48 a year), including 33 with injuries; similar fleets have about 41 a year. The grade counts 167 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.53× the rate expected for its inspections, but violations 0.45× and out-of-service orders 0.55×. Together they move its crash estimate -6%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.
