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 a 70% 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.

  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 6 of 20 violations (30%). Light or brake defects led to 2 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.

  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 11.8% vs 22.3% national; driver 2.0% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
