Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

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

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 10–19 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
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
About typical. Out-of-service orders, violations and unsafe-driving or hours-of-service violations are all close to the rate expected for its inspections.

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.

  • Little roadside history
    Only 3 inspections in 24 months for 11 power units; the record says little either way.
    Ask: confirm the fleet is operating at the filed size.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • Historical FMCSA safety rating
    FMCSA once rated this motor carrier Conditional or Unsatisfactory, but the rating is stale or superseded — the motor carrier still holds active operating authority (a current Unsatisfactory would have it revoked), so it does not reflect current standing. Shown for context, not as a current finding.
  • 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.
