General Freight

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 an 80% 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. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), all 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 3.5 a year. The grade counts 8 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.74× the rate expected for its inspections, but violations 0.76×. Together they move its crash estimate +5%: 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
    20 out-of-service violations against drivers: 12 hours of service, 6 no valid CDL, 1 medical certificate (Oct 2024 – Jul 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 54 of 280 violations (19%). Light or brake defects led to 11 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.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 3 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 6 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    11.7% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (21 of 180), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.10× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 9
  • High speeding: 8
  • Substance violations: 1
