Cargo

58.0
medium risk
Meat Refrigerated Food General Freight Building Materials Fresh Produce Beverages Other: PRODUCE Dry Bulk Construction
High-Risk Cargo
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 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death) and 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.3 a year. The grade counts 5 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.66× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.19× and violations 0.75×. Together they move its crash estimate -10%: 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.

  • Fatal crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Apr 26, 2025).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 22.3% national; driver 0.0% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
