74.6
high risk
Motor Vehicles General Freight
High-Risk Cargo
Motor Vehicles, 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 (0.73× similar fleets) would put it in Strong; this rule holds it at Satisfactory:

  • Strong withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.76× class

The downside is never capped.

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 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. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 2.4 a year. The grade counts 2 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 2.42× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +13%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    11 out-of-service violations against drivers: 5 no valid CDL, 3 hours of service, 3 English proficiency (Sep 2025 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Lights and tires
    Lights are 24 of 121 violations (20%). Light or tire defects led to 13 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    11 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 2 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 1 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 7
  • High speeding: 5
  • 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.
