General Freight, Refrigerated Food, Meat

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 60% 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.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Marginal. Its estimate (1.20× similar fleets) is in the Marginal range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Marginal line (1.06×), so the grade stays Satisfactory.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Too little record to tell. 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death); similar fleets have about 1.9 a year. The grade counts 9 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.75× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +4%: 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.

  • Fatal crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Dec 12, 2025).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Lapse in liability filings
    377 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (Jan 3, 2024 – Jan 14, 2025) while the authority required one. A filing received later can be back-dated and close a lapse. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Drivers put out of service
    9 out-of-service violations against drivers: 6 hours of service, 3 no valid CDL (Mar 2025 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and wheels & hubs
    Brakes are 22 of 118 violations (19%). Brake or wheels & hub defects led to 8 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    9 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 3 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 1 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 10
  • Substance violations: 1
