Intrastate operation

Runs within Wisconsin only. Intrastate fleets in Wisconsin are inspected about 1 a year for every 13 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.

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: intrastate fleets of 20–49 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 0.5× as often as the median active fleet of 20–49 trucks.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Poor. Its estimate (1.85× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.86× and violations 1.71× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +11%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.
