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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

50 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but not by enough to grade.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.7 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.58× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +6%: 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 estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 hours of service (Nov 2025 – Apr 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 9 of 49 violations (18%). Brake or tire defects led to 8 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    47.6% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (10 of 21), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.18× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 4.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 4
