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: for-hire 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.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Marginal. Its estimate (1.13× 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
Higher so far, not yet proven. 8 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 4 a year), including 4 with injuries; similar fleets have about 2.7 a year. Too few crashes to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 11% above typical. The grade counts 10 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.38× 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.

  • Injury crashes
    4 crashes with 4 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 no valid CDL, 1 other qualification (Feb 2026 – Mar 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 44 of 119 violations (37%). Brake or light defects led to 15 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    43.4% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (23 of 53). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.38× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 2.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
