Motor Vehicles, Machinery Large, 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 39% lower than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 100–199 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
Lower so far, not yet proven. 7 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3.5 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death) and 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 5.9 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 6% below typical. The grade counts 11 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Violations 0.13×, out-of-service orders 0.23× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.26× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -35%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.
