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 (0.67× similar fleets) would put it in Strong; this rule holds it at Satisfactory:

  • Held one band lower (interim): the filed fleet isn't corroborated roadside — see Exposure Unverified below

The downside is never capped.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 75 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 8 units seen in 24 months, 0.25 inspections per filed unit-year. The grade's relativity to class is unchanged; its confidence tier is cut to reflect the unverified exposure, and until the fleet is confirmed an Excellent grade shows as Strong and a Strong as Satisfactory. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 1.3 a year. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.86× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +9%: 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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service, 1 medical certificate (Jan 2025 – Aug 2025).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 5 of 32 violations (16%). Brake or tire defects led to 5 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    5 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 8 of the 75 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (37 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 75 are running. Its grade is held one band lower until the fleet is confirmed.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
