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 higher than similar fleets (about a 70% 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.5 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 4.10× and out-of-service orders 1.35× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.67×. Together they move its crash estimate +9%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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.

  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Nov 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 14 of 33 violations (42%). Brake or light defects led to 3 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • 3 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
