Cargo

medium risk
General Freight
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 70% 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 1.9 a year. The grade counts 3 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.13× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +8%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    17 out-of-service violations against drivers: 7 English proficiency, 6 hours of service, 4 no valid CDL (Jan 2025 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Falsified logs
    11 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    11.3% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (15 of 133), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 0.97× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
  • Cross-border operation
    13 inspections on Mexico-plated units; 47% of all inspections were in Texas.
    Ask: operating radius and Mexico lanes.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 11.6% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
