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 70% 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 1.6× as often as the median active fleet of 20–49 trucks.

betterworse

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.

  • New since the grade was set
    1 crash after Aug 31, 2026. Not in the grade yet.
  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL, 1 medical certificate (Nov 2025 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 12.5% vs 22.3% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 10
  • Substance violations: 1
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.
