Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of about 11 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside 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.

    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and brakes

    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • New since the grade was set
    1 out-of-service inspection after Jul 31, 2026. Not in the grade yet.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
