Advisory Grade — Outside the Ranked Book

Fleets under 10 power units are graded against their size cohort (pu6_9) for reference, but sit outside the 10+ power-unit underwriting book the FRED rank covers.

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: for-hire fleets of 6–9 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.6× as often as the median active fleet of 6–9 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.5 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Violations 1.65× and out-of-service orders 1.47× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +7%: 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
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    6 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 no valid CDL, 1 medical certificate, 1 hours of service (Nov 2024 – Jul 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    31.2% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (5 of 16). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.47× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
