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 lower than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 50–99 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 better, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 1.9 a year. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.36×, out-of-service orders 0.55× and violations 0.68× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -18%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 29 of 72 violations (40%). Brake or light defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.

  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 12.1% vs 22.3% national; driver 0.0% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
