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 lower than similar fleets (about a 90% 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.

Crash history
betterworse

Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.41×, out-of-service orders 0.59× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.79× the rate expected for its inspections.
