28 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.5 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.90× and violations 1.38× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.37×. Together they move its crash estimate -3%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 27 of 88 violations (31%). Light or brake defects led to 8 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    55.6% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (15 of 27). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.90× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
