Machinery Large, 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 100–199 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. 18 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 9 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death) and 8 with injuries; similar fleets have about 7 a year. The grade counts 28 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.42× the rate expected for its inspections, but violations 0.55× and out-of-service orders 0.76×. Together they move its crash estimate -3%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

About “In the news”: these links go to third-party news reports that FRED Score matched automatically to FMCSA crash records — same date and place, with a truck or bus involved, and the same number of deaths or, for a crash that released hazardous materials, the release — and checked a second time before showing. A link doesn't mean this motor carrier caused the crash: FMCSA crash reports don't assign fault, and news coverage can be incomplete or wrong. FRED Score doesn't verify or endorse what the articles say.
