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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.9× as often as the median active fleet of 2–5 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.2 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Violations 2.46×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.35× and out-of-service orders 1.32× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +21%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Lapse in liability filings
    277 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (Jul 5, 2025 – Apr 8, 2026) 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.
  • Lights and cargo securement
    Lights are 12 of 28 violations (43%).
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
