General Freight, Refrigerated Food, Meat

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 about the same as similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 200–499 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 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 200–499 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 15 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 7.5 a year), including 8 with injuries; similar fleets have about 8.3 a year. The grade counts 27 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.50×, out-of-service orders 0.63× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.67× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -13%: 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.

  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 4 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 1 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
