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 lower than similar fleets (about an 80% 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 1.6× as often as the median active fleet of 20–49 trucks.

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.
  • FMCSA suspension notice pending
    FMCSA served a notice on Oct 14, 2026: the operating authority will be suspended on Nov 13, 2026 unless the missing filing is restored. The notice does not say which filing. Not in the grade.
    Ask: which filing lapsed and whether it has been refiled.
  • Drivers put out of service
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Apr 2026 – Sep 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 17 of 66 violations (26%). Brake or light defects led to 11 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    38.5% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (15 of 39). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.35× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
  • Substance violations: 1
