Cargo

60.4
medium risk
Household Goods General Freight Garbage/Refuse
High-Risk Cargo
General Freight, Household Goods

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 90% 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. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 1.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.46× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.54× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -12%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. 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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    7 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 no valid CDL, 2 medical certificate, 1 hours of service (Feb 2025 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and tires
    Lights are 11 of 48 violations (23%). Light or tire defects led to 7 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    11.3% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (8 of 71), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.01× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 3
  • Substance violations: 1
