medium risk
Household Goods Metal: Sheets/Coils/Rolls Intermodal Containers General Freight Paper Products
High-Risk Cargo
General Freight, Household Goods

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 higher than similar fleets (about an 80% 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 8 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 4 a year), including 4 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.9 a year. The grade counts 9 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 3.58×, violations 1.59× and out-of-service orders 1.58× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +24%. 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
    4 crashes with 5 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lapse in liability filings
    91 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (Jun 13, 2025 – Sep 12, 2025) while the authority required one. A filing received later can be back-dated and close a lapse. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Drivers put out of service
    8 out-of-service violations against drivers: 6 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL, 1 medical certificate (Apr 2025 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 44 of 174 violations (25%). Light or brake defects led to 16 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    40.3% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (25 of 62). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.58× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Falsified logs
    21 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 4
