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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.49× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; this rule holds it at Strong:

  • Excellent withheld: a fatal crash inside the window

The downside is never capped.

Expected crash rate is about half that of similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.7× as often as the median active fleet of 50–99 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death) and 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 2.4 a year. The grade counts 4 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.08×, violations 0.29× and out-of-service orders 0.53× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -35%. 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.

  • Fatal crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Oct 30, 2024).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 5 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 English proficiency, 1 other qualification (Oct 2025 – May 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 41 of 101 violations (41%). Brake or light defects led to 12 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Cross-border operation
    36 inspections on Mexico-plated units; 39% of all inspections were in New Mexico.
    Ask: operating radius and Mexico lanes.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 14.4% vs 22.3% national; driver 0.9% vs 6.7%.
