Cargo

23.5
minimal risk
Building Materials Other: SAND STONE LIME COAL Grain/Feed/Hay Dry Bulk Construction Coal/Coke

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

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.73× 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 a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 50–99 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.8× as often as the median active fleet of 50–99 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 8 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 4 a year), including 4 with injuries; similar fleets have about 5.4 a year. The grade counts 9 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.25×, violations 0.47× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.72× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -19%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

Worth a closer look

  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
  • 86% of inspections found no violations.
