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

  • Strong withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.76× class

The downside is never capped.

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: 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 1.5× as often as the median active fleet of 20–49 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 2 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 3.12×, violations 1.67× and out-of-service orders 1.46× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +22%. 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.

  • Drivers put out of service
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Dec 2024 – Jun 2025).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 38 of 154 violations (25%). Light or brake defects led to 10 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    38.5% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (15 of 39). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.46× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Falsified logs
    8 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • 2 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 3.4% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
