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 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 20–49 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.5 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.30× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.40× and violations 0.53×. Together they move its crash estimate -9%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. 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.

  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Oct 2024 – Dec 2024).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Falsified logs
    7 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • 3 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 6.2% vs 22.3% national; driver 4.3% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
  • Canada-domiciled motor carrier
    Domiciled in Canada — cross-border operating rules and inspection patterns differ from US-based motor carriers.
