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.

Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage appears too low for fleet size given observed activity. The per-100k-mile rate benchmarks on this page are excluded; the FRED grade does not use mileage (crash exposure is power-unit-years, violation exposure is inspection counts).

Not enough record to grade yet.

20 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but not by enough to grade.

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.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.2 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.65× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -3%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Oct 2025 – Apr 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and tires
    Lights are 6 of 20 violations (30%).
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • Unreliable reported mileage
    The motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
  • Estimated mileage
    No usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
