High-Risk Cargo
Motor Vehicles, Livestock, General Freight, Household Goods, Refrigerated Food, Meat

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 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.6× as often as the median active fleet of 200–499 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 5 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2.5 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 5 a year. The grade counts 9 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.45×, violations 0.53× and out-of-service orders 0.73× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -15%.

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.
