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.

High Utilization Fleet

This motor carrier reports 204,333 miles per power unit annually, which exceeds typical single-driver limits (~150,000–180,000 miles/year). This motor carrier is still rated, but the high utilization may indicate:

  • Team driving operations where trucks run nearly 24/7 with rotating drivers
  • Stale fleet count in MCS-150 (power units not updated while operations expanded)
  • Data entry anomaly in annual mileage reporting
  • Expedited/dedicated routes with unusually high truck utilization

Not enough record to grade yet.

11 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but not by enough to grade.

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Higher so far, not yet proven. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 10% above typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.30× and violations 0.56× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -12%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
