Cargo

55.9
medium risk
General Freight Other: PALLETS
High-Risk Cargo
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.

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), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.9 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.43× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.64×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (May 2026 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 21 of 92 violations (23%). Light or brake defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    8 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 11.9% vs 22.3% national; driver 2.5% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
