Not enough record to grade yet.

45 inspections and 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 20–49 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (32 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.1 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 11% above typical. The grade counts 5 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.59× and out-of-service orders 0.63× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -9%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

Worth a closer look
