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 an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 100–199 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 11 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 5.5 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 2.9 a year. The grade counts 13 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.51×, violations 0.65× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.65× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -13%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    2 crashes with 4 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 30 of 98 violations (31%). Brake or light defects led to 9 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Hazmat violations
    5 hazmat violations, 2 out of service.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 15.5% vs 22.3% national; driver 1.2% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
