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.

Intrastate Only

Intrastate-only carrier — not required to file MCS-150. May be inspected less frequently than interstate carriers. Safety rates may have lower statistical confidence.

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: for-hire fleets of 50–99 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
Lower so far, not yet proven. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 2.5 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about typical. The grade counts 7 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.41× and violations 0.41× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -13%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

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
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (May 2025 – Dec 2025).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 13 of 56 violations (23%). Brake or light defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 11.1% vs 22.3% national; driver 2.2% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
