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 about half that of similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 100–199 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.

  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.5% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
