Cargo

55.6
medium risk
Liquids/Gases General Freight Other: PETROLEUM Chemicals
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 a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate 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. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 2.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.27× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they barely move its crash estimate.

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 4 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    10 out-of-service violations against drivers: 6 hours of service, 4 English proficiency (Oct 2025 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 19 of 72 violations (26%). Brake or light defects led to 11 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 1 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 2 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    30.4% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (14 of 46), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.19× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 3
