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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

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

Similar fleets: interstate 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 2.6× as often as the median active fleet of 2–5 trucks.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-6 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 (4 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 0.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 3.64× and violations 1.86× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +23%. 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
    218 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (Apr 13, 2024 – Nov 17, 2024) 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.
  • Drivers put out of service
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (May 2025 – Apr 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    15.0% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (3 of 20), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.15× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 8.3% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
