Held at Marginal by an FMCSA Rating

FMCSA currently rates this motor carrier Conditional (07-29-2024). While that rating stands, FRED grades the motor carrier no better than Marginal, even where its roadside and crash record alone would grade higher.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.73× similar fleets) would put it in Strong; this rule holds it at Satisfactory:

  • Strong withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.76× class

The downside is never capped.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 200–499 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 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 200–499 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 7 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3.5 a year), including 3 with injuries; similar fleets have about 6.9 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 11% below typical. The grade counts 16 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Violations 0.43×, out-of-service orders 0.43× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.59× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -18%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Injury crashes
    3 crashes with 4 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    8 out-of-service violations against drivers: 6 no valid CDL, 1 hours of service, 1 medical certificate (Oct 2024 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 76 of 246 violations (31%). Light or brake defects led to 16 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    5 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 10.1% vs 22.3% national; driver 1.6% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Current adverse FMCSA safety rating
    FMCSA currently rates this motor carrier Conditional or Unsatisfactory — a recent formal finding of safety-management deficiencies. Treat as a serious underwriting concern.
  • Dangerous driving: 7
