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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.74× similar fleets) would put it in Strong; this rule holds it at Satisfactory:

  • Strong withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.76× class

The downside is never capped.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.7× as often as the median active fleet of 20–49 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 2.1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.93× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +8%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.
