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.

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

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (7 power units).
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 0.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.48× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.34× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +6%. 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 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service, 1 English proficiency, 1 no valid CDL (Jan 2025 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    19.0% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (4 of 21). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.48× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
