Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu2_5) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

Not enough record to grade yet.

16 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 2–5 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-5 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (4 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.2 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 13% above typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.45× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.58×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Lapse in liability filings
    199 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record, the longest of 2 lapses in 36 months while the authority required one. A filing received later can be back-dated and close a lapse. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Aug 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    46.2% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (6 of 13). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.45× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
