Cargo

64.8
medium risk
Livestock General Freight Logs/Poles/Beams/Lumber Other: TRANSFORMERS Grain/Feed/Hay
High-Risk Cargo
Livestock, General Freight

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.

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.

  • Lapse in liability filings
    No liability filing on FMCSA's file since Jun 20, 2025 (328 days through May 14, 2026) while the authority required one. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Drivers put out of service
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service (Aug 2026 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
