medium risk
General Freight
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 a 70% 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 2.2× as often as the median active fleet of 10–19 trucks.

Worth a closer look

  • Drivers put out of service
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 no valid CDL, 1 English proficiency, 1 hours of service (Jul 2026 – Aug 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    23.1% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (3 of 13). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.71× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths

  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
