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.

4 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-4 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (5 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 1 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 14% above typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 1.41× and out-of-service orders 1.34× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.71×. Together they barely move its crash estimate.

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
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Dec 2024).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
Data flags
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.
