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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.74× similar fleets) would put it in Strong; this rule holds it at Satisfactory:

  • Strong withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.76× class

The downside is never capped.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 20–49 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. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.7 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.94× and violations 1.40× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.15×. Together they move its crash estimate -12%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Jul 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 43 of 115 violations (37%). Light or brake defects led to 10 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    41.2% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (21 of 51). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.94× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 1.7% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
