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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

51 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

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.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (12 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 1 fatal crash (1 death) on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.8 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 13% below typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.18×, violations 1.98× and out-of-service orders 1.57× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +19%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.
