medium risk

High-Risk Cargo
General Freight, 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 higher than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 100–199 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 0.5× as often as the median active fleet of 100–199 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 7 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3.5 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 2.7 a year. The grade counts 12 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.92× and out-of-service orders 1.52× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +12%: 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.
