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 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 1.5× as often as the median active fleet of 10–19 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.33× the rate expected for its inspections, but violations 0.61×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: 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
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.

    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Falsified logs
    3 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
