3 power units · all owned 3 drivers 200k mi/yr · ~67k per unit
Intrastate Only
Satisfactory Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 3 power units would expect only about 0.2 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.

Intrastate operation

Runs within North Carolina only. Intrastate fleets in North Carolina are inspected about 1 a year for every 2 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. Its roadside record counts the same way as an interstate fleet's.

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

Similar fleets: intrastate 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.

Checking FMCSA…

FMCSA filings only, not a policy audit. Not part of the FRED grade. Wrong or out of date?
