Cargo

53.5
medium risk
Metal: Sheets/Coils/Rolls General Freight Paper Products Garbage/Refuse
High-Risk Cargo
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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.53× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; this rule holds it at Strong:

  • Excellent withheld: driver-behaviour relativity above 1.0×

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 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 50–99 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much better than peers. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 1.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.74× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +8%: 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
    6 out-of-service violations against drivers: 6 no valid CDL (Aug 2025 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and cargo securement
    Lights are 18 of 78 violations (23%). Light or cargo securement defects led to 11 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    42.9% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (12 of 28). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.74× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    17.6% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (6 of 34). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.74× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 3 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.

Insurance filed with FMCSA

Today · live FMCSA check
Checking FMCSA…

No MC, FF or MX docket on FMCSA's registration for this motor carrier, so there are no insurance filings to show. FMCSA collects filings only from registered for-hire authorities; other motor carriers keep proof of insurance (MCS-90) at their place of business.

FMCSA filings only, not a policy audit. Not part of the FRED grade. Wrong or out of date?
