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.

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 90% 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 1.7× as often as the median active fleet of 20–49 trucks.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Poor. Its estimate (1.68× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 7 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3.5 a year), including 3 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.7 a year. The grade counts 8 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.73× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they barely move its crash estimate. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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
    3 crashes with 3 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (Sep 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and tires
    Lights are 16 of 64 violations (25%). Light or tire defects led to 15 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    3 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    35.0% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (14 of 40), but across all its inspections out-of-service orders are 1.05× what's expected for where and how it's inspected, the measure the grade uses.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 1.3% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
