General Freight, Refrigerated Food, Meat

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 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
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year); similar fleets have about 3.3 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.60× and out-of-service orders 0.80× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -5%: 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.

  • Lapse in liability filings
    163 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (Feb 5, 2024 – Jul 17, 2024) while the authority required one. A filing received later can be back-dated and close a lapse. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 hours of service (Mar 2025 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 28 of 105 violations (27%). Brake or tire defects led to 17 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 5 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 2 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    29.5% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (18 of 61), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 0.80× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • 3 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 2.4% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 6
  • Excessive speeding: 12
