Cargo

34.0

Other: ART AND ANTIQUES

Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

Not enough record to grade yet.

60 inspections and 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but not by enough to grade.

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 the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 2 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1 a year); similar fleets have about 0.9 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.64× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.27× and violations 0.50×. Together they move its crash estimate -10%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.
