46 inspections and 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 10–19 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (13 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.45× and violations 0.68× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -9%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 3 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Dec 2024 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Falsified logs
    4 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 6.9% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Canada-domiciled motor carrier
    Domiciled in Canada — cross-border operating rules and inspection patterns differ from US-based motor carriers.
