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 higher 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.8× as often as the median active fleet of 10–19 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.7 a year. The grade counts 4 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.33× 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.

  • 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
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL, 2 hours of service (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Falsified logs
    4 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    35.0% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (7 of 20), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.08× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
