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.

5 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 1.7× as often as the median active fleet of 2–5 trucks.

80% likely range 0.32×–2.28×

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-4 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
About typical. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.2 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 4.65×, violations 2.42× and out-of-service orders 1.66× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +32%.

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.

  • Nothing on the FMCSA record stands out.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
