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: interstate fleets of 50–99 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. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 1.7 a year. The grade counts 2 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.93× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.66× and violations 0.66×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 9 of 49 violations (18%). Brake or tire defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    4 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 1.2% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 3
  • High speeding: 5
