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.

20 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but not by enough to grade.

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.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.71× and violations 0.71× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -6%. 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.

  • Driver qualification
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 3 no valid CDL (Jun 2025 – Feb 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and cargo securement
    Lights are 8 of 19 violations (42%).
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    15.0% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (3 of 20), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 0.99× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 9.1% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
