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 about 49% higher than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 500+ trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.4× as often as the median active fleet of 500+ trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 220 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 110 a year), including 8 fatal (10 deaths) and 79 with injuries; similar fleets have about 75 a year. The grade counts 339 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.46×, out-of-service orders 0.51× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.75× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -14%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Fatal crashes
    8 crashes with 10 fatalities in 24 months (most recent Aug 13, 2026).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • New since the grade was set
    1 crash after Aug 31, 2026. Not in the grade yet.
  • Injury crashes
    79 crashes with 101 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    40 out-of-service violations against drivers: 20 no valid CDL, 13 hours of service, 7 medical certificate (Dec 2024 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 381 of 1343 violations (28%). Brake or light defects led to 119 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 12.7% vs 22.3% national; driver 1.3% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 86

About “In the news”: these links go to third-party news reports that FRED Score matched automatically to FMCSA crash records — same date and place, with a truck or bus involved, and the same number of deaths or, for a crash that released hazardous materials, the release — and checked a second time before showing. A link doesn't mean this motor carrier caused the crash: FMCSA crash reports don't assign fault, and news coverage can be incomplete or wrong. FRED Score doesn't verify or endorse what the articles say.
