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 about 30% lower than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 500+ 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 1.6× as often as the median active fleet of 500+ trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 65 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 32 a year), including 2 fatal (2 deaths) and 31 with injuries; similar fleets have about 49 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 8% above typical. The grade counts 114 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Much better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.16×, unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.19× and violations 0.24× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -36%. 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.

    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Injury crashes
