Not enough record to grade yet.

18 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 50–99 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (52 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.5 a year. The grade counts 6 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.35× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +6%.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 8 of 21 violations (38%). Light or brake defects led to 3 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
