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 (0.58× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; this rule holds it at Strong:

  • Excellent withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.60× class

The downside is never capped.

Operating authority suspended Oct 2, 2026; reinstated Oct 12, 2026

FMCSA suspended it for insurance: no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file. FMCSA's new registration system launched May 14, 2026 and has recorded some insurance suspensions and requirement changes in error; confirm with the insurer or motor carrier before acting.

Expected crash rate is probably lower 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.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 1.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.40× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.72× the rate expected for its inspections. 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.

  • Authority was suspended for insurance
    FMCSA suspended the operating authority on Oct 2, 2026 (no liability filing meeting the FMCSA minimum on file) and reinstated it on Oct 12, 2026. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet between Oct 2, 2026 and Oct 12, 2026, and who ended the policy and why.
  • Drivers put out of service
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 English proficiency, 1 hours of service (Jul 2025 – Sep 2025).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    14.3% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (3 of 21). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.25× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
