What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 10 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 5 a year), including 5 with injuries; similar fleets have about 5.5 a year. The grade counts 16 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.66× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -5%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.
