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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

166 inspections and 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

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.

What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.89× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.76×. Together they move its crash estimate +4%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.
