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.

Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage appears implausibly high for fleet size. The per-100k-mile rate benchmarks on this page are excluded; the FRED grade does not use mileage (crash exposure is power-unit-years, violation exposure is inspection counts).

Not enough record to grade yet.

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

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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.8× 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.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (1 power unit).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. The grade counts 1 crash in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.60× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -6%: 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.

  • Nothing on the FMCSA record stands out.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
Data flags
  • Unreliable reported mileage
    The motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
  • Estimated mileage
    No usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
