Cargo

63.4
medium risk
Meat Refrigerated Food General Freight
High-Risk Cargo
General Freight, Refrigerated Food, Meat

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 60% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Marginal. Its estimate (1.20× similar fleets) is in the Marginal range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Marginal line (1.06×), so the grade stays Satisfactory.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.6 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 7% above typical. 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 2.56× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +12%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL, 1 medical certificate (Mar 2025 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Falsified logs
    2 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 2 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    40.9% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (9 of 22), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 0.99× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 4.2% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 8
  • Excessive speeding: 10
