Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 50–99 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's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 7 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3.5 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 3.2 a year. The grade counts 15 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.29× and violations 1.30× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +12%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Injury crashes
    2 crashes with 3 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    36.8% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (7 of 19), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 0.98× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 5
  • Excessive speeding: 16
