High-Risk Cargo
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 higher than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate 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's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.4 a year. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.48× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.30× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +7%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Lapse in liability filings
    91 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (Nov 5, 2024 – Feb 4, 2025) while the authority required one. A filing received later can be back-dated and close a lapse. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Drivers put out of service
    9 out-of-service violations against drivers: 6 hours of service, 2 no valid CDL, 1 medical certificate (Mar 2025 – Jul 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 12 of 50 violations (24%). Brake or tire defects led to 8 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    18.2% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (8 of 44). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.48× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Falsified logs
    4 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
