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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

13 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

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.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 8% above typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Violations 2.92×, out-of-service orders 2.00× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.35× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +19%.

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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    5 out-of-service violations against drivers: 3 hours of service, 1 cargo securement, 1 no valid CDL (Mar 2025 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 12 of 35 violations (34%). Brake or light defects led to 4 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    38.5% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (5 of 13). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 2.00× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
