Current peer-cohort snapshot based on public FMCSA BASIC measures. Peer cohort: 105 motor carriers operating 165–167 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The strongest signal is Driver Fitness at 12.0% of peer cohort average — well under norm. Combined with a clean acute-flag picture, that supports the A grade. Main caution: nothing stands out as disqualifying on this record.
