Cargo

56.8
medium risk
Household Goods General Freight Building Materials Other: LIQUID INDUSTRAL WASTE Construction Coal/Coke Garbage/Refuse
High-Risk Cargo
General Freight, Household Goods

Note: "General Freight" is a catch-all; the actual cargo mix and its risk may differ.

Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 10–19 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's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.5 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.75× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.76×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Driver qualification
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 no valid CDL (Oct 2024 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and tires
    Lights are 7 of 22 violations (32%). Light or tire defects led to 5 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    50.0% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (5 of 10). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.75× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    25.0% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (4 of 16). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.75× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
