Current peer-cohort snapshot based on public FMCSA BASIC measures. Peer cohort: 2,391 motor carriers operating 26 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The key signal in this record is Unsafe Driving at 258.7% of peer cohort average — roughly double the norm and the dominant reason for the A grade. Main caution: unsafe driving is the weakest area of the record and warrants direct confirmation with the carrier.
