Current peer-cohort snapshot based on public FMCSA BASIC measures. Peer cohort: 1,234 motor carriers operating 37 power units.
No acute or critical violation flags in the current review window.
The strongest signal is Hours-of-Service at 0.0% of peer cohort average — well under norm. Combined with a clean acute-flag picture, that supports the A grade. Main caution: inspection volume is light for this fleet size — see the data-confidence note below.
