Strong Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 2 power units would expect only about 0.1 crashes over the 36-month scoring window, and it had 18 inspections and 0 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.

Too little record to tell how this motor carrier's crash rate compares with similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Violations 0.30×, out-of-service orders 0.42× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.47× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -22%. 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.

  • Nothing on the FMCSA record stands out.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 14.3% vs 22.3% national; driver 0.0% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.
