Cargo

Cargo risk score FRED’s estimate from the commodities it hauls Log in

How cargo risk is rated

Theft attractiveness, damageability and inertial mass

Theft attractiveness:: How much thieves want it: its value, how easily it resells, and how often cargo-theft reports name it.
Damageability:: How easily the load is ruined on the way: fragile, perishable or temperature-sensitive goods, or goods handled piece by piece.
Inertial mass:: How hard the load pushes in a hard stop, a swerve or a crash: heavy or dense loads, liquid that surges, live animals that shift, and loads that need heavy chains and binders.

Each chip carries its three ratings: T theft, D damage, M mass. Green is Low, amber Medium, red High.

What this motor carrier hauls

Motor vehicles Theft HighDamage HighMass Medium

Whole vehicles resell easily, and every one is checked for scratches and dents at delivery. Car haulers ride tall.
Drive / tow away Theft MediumDamage MediumMass Low

The vehicle being delivered is the cargo: it can be taken when left unattended and picks up wear on the road. No trailer load behind it.

Every cargo type

General freight Theft MediumDamage MediumMass Medium

A catch-all, from pallets of paper to electronics. Dry vans of consumer goods are what thieves take most; the real mix is unknown.
Household goods Theft MediumDamage HighMass Low

People's belongings in a move, handled piece by piece and easy to scratch or break. Bulky but light. Losses are mostly items gone missing, not whole loads stolen.
Metal: sheets, coils, rolls Theft MediumDamage MediumMass High

Coils and sheet are very heavy and concentrated: a coil that breaks loose can go through the cab. Copper and aluminium are stolen; edges dent and rust.
Logs, poles, beams, lumber Theft LowDamage LowMass High

Long, heavy loads that can shift or roll off, under strict securement rules. Logs and poles have little resale value; finished lumber is stolen at times.
Building materials, construction Theft MediumDamage MediumMass High

Brick, block, drywall and roofing usually run at full legal weight. Building materials show up in theft reports; drywall and tile break. FMCSA lists the two boxes as one.
Mobile homes Theft LowDamage HighMass Medium

Fragile structures moved oversize, damaged by wind and road shock. Light for their size, but tall and wide enough for wind to push over.
Machinery, large objects Theft MediumDamage MediumMass High

Very heavy, concentrated loads chained down point by point. Construction equipment is a known theft target, and loading damage is costly.
Fresh produce Theft MediumDamage HighMass Medium

Perishable: a reefer failure or a late arrival and the load is rejected. Food is among the most stolen cargo.
Liquids, gases Theft LowDamage LowMass High

Liquid surges in a partly filled tank, and tankers ride high, so they roll over more easily. The product itself is hard to steal or damage.
Intermodal containers Theft MediumDamage MediumMass Medium

Sealed boxes: the driver can't see how the load inside is placed or how heavy it is. Containers near ports and rail yards are theft targets.
Oilfield equipment Theft MediumDamage MediumMass High

Heavy, often oversize equipment and pipe. Tools and equipment are stolen in the oil patch.
Livestock Theft LowDamage HighMass High

Live animals shift their weight in turns and stops, and the trailers ride high. Animals can die or be hurt in heat, cold or delay.
Grain, feed, hay Theft LowDamage LowMass High

Dense bulk at full legal weight; tall hay loads can shift and fall. Little worth stealing.
Coal, coke Theft LowDamage LowMass High

Dense bulk, usually in dump trailers at full legal weight. Nothing worth stealing, nothing to break.
Meat, refrigerated food Theft HighDamage HighMass Medium

Food thieves sell fast, among the most stolen loads in recent reports. A reefer failure ruins the whole load, and hanging meat swings in turns. FMCSA lists the two boxes as one.
Garbage, refuse Theft LowDamage LowMass Medium

No cargo value. Heavy compacted loads and frequent stops on residential streets.
US mail Theft MediumDamage LowMass Low

Parcels and mail draw thieves; the loads are light.
Chemicals Theft LowDamage MediumMass Medium

Drums and totes can puncture or leak. The real exposure is a spill, a liability matter more than a cargo loss. Little resale value.
Dry bulk Theft LowDamage LowMass High

Sand, cement, plastic pellets and the like, at full legal weight. Little to steal or break.
Beverages Theft HighDamage MediumMass High

Drinks are a top theft target, and cans and bottles break. So dense that a trailer reaches full legal weight before it is full.
Paper products Theft LowDamage MediumMass Medium

Water and crushing are the common losses. Big paper rolls are heavy and can roll; consumer paper is light.
Utility Theft MediumDamage LowMass Medium

Utility trucks carry tools and copper wire, which thieves want; the truck's own equipment is heavy.
Farm supplies Theft LowDamage LowMass Medium

Fertilizer, seed and feed in bulk or bags: moderate weight, little resale value.
Water well Theft LowDamage LowMass High

Drilling rigs and pipe: heavy and top-heavy. Little to steal or break.

All three ratings are FRED's judgment. FMCSA publishes no cargo losses, so theft and damage can't be measured; the theft column follows published cargo-theft reports (Verisk CargoNet's annual reviews), which year after year name food and drink (meat, seafood, nuts), electronics, household items and, lately, metals among the most stolen loads. FMCSA's crash records don't show heavy cargo making crashes more often deadly or injurious, so mass is judgment too. Cargo is not part of the FRED grade.
