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.

Mileage Unreliable

MCS-150 annual mileage appears too low for fleet size given observed activity. The per-100k-mile rate benchmarks on this page are excluded; the FRED grade does not use mileage (crash exposure is power-unit-years, violation exposure is inspection counts).

Not enough record to grade yet.

184 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

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.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-8 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (3 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.1 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 12% above typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 1.91× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.07×. Together they move its crash estimate -22%. 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.
  • Driver qualification
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 3 no valid CDL (Feb 2025 – Jun 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 269 of 919 violations (29%). Brake or light defects led to 30 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    27.3% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (44 of 161), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.08× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 1.6% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Unreliable reported mileage
    The motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.
