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 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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
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 1.1 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 15% below typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.32× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they barely move its crash estimate.

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.

  • Fatal crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Apr 28, 2026).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Lights and tires
    Lights are 8 of 29 violations (28%). Light or tire defects led to 7 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 (6 of 14). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.32× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2

    Why this link: FMCSA crash report GA0010335272 (Georgia Department of Public Safety) lists TRIPLE EIGHT INC’s truck in this crash. This third-party news report covers a crash with the same date, place and number of deaths, matched automatically. It may not name TRIPLE EIGHT INC and doesn't establish fault. Wrong article?

About “In the news”: these links go to third-party news reports that FRED Score matched automatically to FMCSA crash records — same date and place, with a truck or bus involved, and the same number of deaths or, for a crash that released hazardous materials, the release — and checked a second time before showing. A link doesn't mean this motor carrier caused the crash: FMCSA crash reports don't assign fault, and news coverage can be incomplete or wrong. FRED Score doesn't verify or endorse what the articles say.

No other reportable crashes on the FMCSA record.
