High-Risk Cargo
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 probably lower than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 10–19 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 2.0× as often as the median active fleet of 10–19 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.8 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 11% below typical.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.49× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +3%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.
