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 about the same as similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of about 3 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

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.

    Ask: any FMCSA warning letters and the corrective-action plan.

    15 out-of-service violations against drivers: 12 hours of service, 3 no valid CDL (Oct 2024 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 24 of 114 violations (21%). Light or brake defects led to 7 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    25.5% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (12 of 47).
