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 probably lower 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 1.7× as often as the median active fleet of 6–9 trucks.

Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.36× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.77×. Together they barely move its crash estimate.
