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.

10 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: for-hire 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.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.2 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Violations 2.46× and out-of-service orders 1.92× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +11%: 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.

  • Driver qualification
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 no valid CDL (Oct 2024 – Nov 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and cargo securement
    Lights are 10 of 28 violations (36%). Light or cargo securement defects led to 8 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    30.0% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (3 of 10). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.92× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Substance violations: 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    FMCSA once rated this motor carrier Conditional or Unsatisfactory, but the rating is stale or superseded — the motor carrier still holds active operating authority (a current Unsatisfactory would have it revoked), so it does not reflect current standing.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.
