Held at Marginal by an FMCSA Rating

FMCSA currently rates this motor carrier Conditional (07-22-2024). While that rating stands, FRED grades the motor carrier no better than Marginal, even where its roadside and crash record alone would grade higher.

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 about the same as similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate 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
Too little record to tell. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. The grade counts 2 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Violations 0.49×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.56× and out-of-service orders 0.58× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -15%.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Hazmat violations
    2 hazmat violations.
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.
