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: 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. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 1 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
About typical. Out-of-service orders, violations and unsafe-driving or hours-of-service violations are all close to the rate expected for its inspections.

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.

  • FMCSA suspension notice pending
    FMCSA served a notice on Oct 18, 2026: the operating authority will be suspended on Nov 17, 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
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 medical certificate, 1 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Jan 2025 – Mar 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 9 of 24 violations (38%). Brake or light defects led to 3 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
