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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

3 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

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 1.6× as often as the median active fleet of 2–5 trucks.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-5 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 2.65×, violations 2.49× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.25× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +19%.

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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Mar 2025 – Apr 2025).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
Data flags
  • Historical FMCSA safety rating
    FMCSA once rated this motor carrier Conditional or Unsatisfactory, but the rating is stale or superseded — the motor carrier still holds active operating authority (a current Unsatisfactory would have it revoked), so it does not reflect current standing. Shown for context, not as a current finding.
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.
