What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 1 a year. The grade counts 4 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.27× the rate expected for its inspections, but violations 0.65× and out-of-service orders 0.73×. Together they move its crash estimate -3%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.
