5 power units · all owned 5 drivers 170k mi/yr · ~34k per unit
Marginal Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 5 power units would expect only about 0.2 crashes over the 36-month scoring window, and it had 7 inspections and 2 crashes in that time, so the grade leans mostly on what's typical for similar fleets and can move as more inspections and time on the road build up.

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.

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.44×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.59× and violations 0.72× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -14%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
