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.

No Interstate Operating Authority

This carrier has no active interstate operating authority and no intrastate authorization.

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

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 1.9× as often as the median active fleet of 6–9 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 2.67×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.57× and violations 2.00× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +27%. 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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    9 out-of-service violations against drivers: 7 hours of service, 2 no valid CDL (Aug 2025 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    44.4% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (8 of 18). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 2.67× 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
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • No active operating authority
    The motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
  • Dangerous driving: 2
