Intrastate Only
Strong Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 4 power units would expect only about 0.1 crashes over the 36-month scoring window, and it had 10 inspections and 0 crashes in that time, so the grade leans mostly on what's typical for similar fleets and can move as more inspections and time on the road build up.

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.

Intrastate operation

Runs within Pennsylvania only. Intrastate fleets in Pennsylvania are inspected about 1 a year for every 8 trucks; interstate fleets, about 1 a year for every 2 trucks. So this record rests mainly on crash reports, which states file for intrastate trucks too, and few inspections are ordinary here.

Too little record to tell how this motor carrier's crash rate compares with similar fleets.

Similar fleets: intrastate 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.

Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 8.5% for intrastate motor carriers.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.

Checking FMCSA…

No MC, FF or MX docket on FMCSA's registration for this motor carrier, so there are no insurance filings to show. FMCSA collects filings only from registered for-hire authorities; other motor carriers keep proof of insurance (MCS-90) at their place of business.

FMCSA filings only, not a policy audit. Not part of the FRED grade. Wrong or out of date?
