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: interstate fleets of 10–19 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 0.6 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.28× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.61× and violations 0.62×. Together they move its crash estimate -7%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. 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.

  • Driver qualification
    1 out-of-service violation against drivers: 1 no valid CDL (May 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    37.0% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (10 of 27). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.28× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 3.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.
