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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

26 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 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.6× as often as the median active fleet of 6–9 trucks.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-4 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 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 8% above typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.79×, violations 1.55× and out-of-service orders 1.37× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +13%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 other qualification, 1 hours of service (May 2026 – Jul 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 17 of 32 violations (53%). Brake or tire defects led to 7 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
