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 probably lower than similar fleets (about a 60% 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. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), all 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.6 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.65×, out-of-service orders 1.56× and violations 1.41× 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

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
    2 crashes with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    11 out-of-service violations against drivers: 10 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Apr 2025 – Aug 2026).

    Lights are 32 of 131 violations (24%). Light or brake defects led to 14 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
