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 about the same as similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 200–499 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 worse, not yet proven. 14 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 7 a year), including 5 with injuries; similar fleets have about 8.2 a year. The grade counts 22 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.36×, violations 0.50× and out-of-service orders 0.61× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -19%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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
    5 crashes with 10 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification

Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 1.0% vs 6.7% national.
