Cargo

65.1
medium risk
Household Goods General Freight Fresh Produce Beverages
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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.57× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; this rule holds it at Strong:

  • Excellent withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.60× class

The downside is never capped.

Expected crash rate is about 43% lower than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history

Roadside inspections
betterworse

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
    1 crash with 5 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Oct 2024 – Jul 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 14 of 42 violations (33%). Light or brake defects led to 3 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 3.6% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
