2 power units · all owned 3 drivers 86k mi/yr · ~43k per unit
Strong Provisional: the record is still thin. A fleet of 4 power units would expect only about 0.2 crashes over the 36-month scoring window, and it had 37 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.

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

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.

Too little record to tell. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.2 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.21× and violations 0.70× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -19%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 medical certificate, 1 English proficiency (Sep 2025 – Jan 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 16 of 46 violations (35%). Light or brake defects led to 2 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 14.3% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • 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.
