Marginal Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 2 power units would expect only about 0.2 crashes over the 36-month scoring window, and it had 7 inspections and 3 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 2.0× as often as the median active fleet of 2–5 trucks.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Poor. Its estimate (1.61× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.1 a year. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 2.48×, violations 1.46× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.33× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +15%. 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
    No liability filing on FMCSA's file since Mar 22, 2026 (53 days through May 14, 2026) while the authority required one. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
Data flags
  • Substance violations: 1
