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 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 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.3 a year. The grade counts 4 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.32× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.36× and violations 0.63×. 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lapse in liability filings
    139 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (Nov 2, 2023 – Mar 20, 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.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
