General Freight, Refrigerated Food, Meat

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 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.

Roadside inspections
betterworse

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
    2 crashes with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 22 of 51 violations (43%). Brake or tire defects led to 10 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    35.7% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (10 of 28), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 0.84× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 1.5% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 4
