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.

15 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 60% chance), but not by enough to grade.

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

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Violations 1.70× and out-of-service orders 1.28× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +7%: 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.

  • Lights and steering & suspension
    Lights are 7 of 17 violations (41%). Light or steering & suspension defects led to 3 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • Historical FMCSA safety rating
    FMCSA once rated this motor carrier Conditional or Unsatisfactory, but the rating is stale or superseded — the motor carrier still holds active operating authority (a current Unsatisfactory would have it revoked), so it does not reflect current standing. Shown for context, not as a current finding.
