Cargo

59.5
medium risk
General Freight Other: WOOD, CERAMIC TILE
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 lower than similar fleets (about an 80% 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.7× as often as the median active fleet of 50–99 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 6 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 4.6 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 7% below typical. The grade counts 12 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.35× and violations 0.52× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -13%: 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.
