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.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes on this page assume the filed fleet of 38 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 0 units seen in 24 months, 0.00 inspections per filed unit-year. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

Not enough record to grade yet.

No inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 20–49 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (38 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.3 a year. The grade counts 2 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
No roadside record. No inspections in the scoring window, so roadside results leave its estimate at typical.

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.

  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 0 of the 38 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (0 inspections in all). The crash expectation assumes all 38 are running.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.
Data flags
  • Limited inspection history
    Fewer than 5 roadside inspections on record, so there isn't enough data to score this motor carrier with high confidence — the score leans more on peers.
