What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year); similar fleets have about 1.9 a year. The grade counts 4 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.61×, violations 0.63× and out-of-service orders 0.63× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -12%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.
