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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.41× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; this rule holds it at Strong:

  • Excellent withheld: driver-behaviour relativity above 1.0×

The downside is never capped.

Expected crash rate is about half that of 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.
