Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu6_9) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

Not enough record to grade yet.

15 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but not by enough to grade.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 6–9 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 2.0× as often as the median active fleet of 6–9 trucks.

80% likely range 0.27×–1.59×

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-10 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 (2 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Violations 1.97× and out-of-service orders 1.78× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +8%: 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.

  • Lapse in liability filings
    56 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (Mar 28, 2026 – May 23, 2026) while the authority required one. A filing received later can be back-dated and close a lapse. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Aug 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and cargo securement
    Lights are 22 of 44 violations (50%). Light or cargo securement defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    58.3% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (7 of 12). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.78× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
