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.

Expected crash rate is about 2.3× that of similar fleets.

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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 2.4× as often as the median active fleet of 6–9 trucks.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Critical. Its estimate (2.28× similar fleets) is in the Critical range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Critical line (2.11×), so the grade stays Poor.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 5 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2.5 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.5 a year. The grade counts 6 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.48× 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 grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Injury crashes
    2 crashes with 3 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lapse in liability filings
    334 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (Oct 19, 2024 – Sep 18, 2025) 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.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 7 of 22 violations (32%). Brake or light defects led to 2 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
