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 about the same as similar fleets.

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.

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
    3 crashes with 4 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    5 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service, 2 no valid CDL, 1 English proficiency (Apr 2025 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 20 of 103 violations (19%). Brake or light defects led to 7 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 4 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
    34.0% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (16 of 47), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.12× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
