Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

Expected crash rate is probably lower 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.

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
    3 crashes with 3 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 3 no valid CDL (Oct 2025 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 11 of 41 violations (27%). Light or brake defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Hazmat violations
    1 hazmat violation, 1 out of service.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 3.8% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
