Cargo

31.8
low risk
Liquids/Gases Other: PETROLEUM Chemicals

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

Expected crash rate is probably higher than similar fleets (about a 70% 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.

Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.30×, violations 0.54× and unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.76× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -16%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.
