Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu6_9) 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 an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 6–9 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 worse, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. The grade counts 4 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Violations 1.27× and out-of-service orders 1.26× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +5%.

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
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Current adverse FMCSA safety rating
    FMCSA currently rates this motor carrier Conditional or Unsatisfactory — a recent formal finding of safety-management deficiencies. Treat as a serious underwriting concern.
