High-Risk Cargo
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 about 1.7× that of 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.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.5× as often as the median active fleet of 200–499 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Much worse than peers. 23 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 12 a year), including 7 with injuries; similar fleets have about 5.8 a year. The grade counts 37 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.47× the rate expected for its inspections, but violations 0.47× and out-of-service orders 0.52×. Together they move its crash estimate -7%: 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.

  • New since the grade was set
    1 crash after Aug 31, 2026. Not in the grade yet.
  • Injury crashes
    7 crashes with 9 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    3 out-of-service violations against drivers: 3 no valid CDL (Dec 2024 – Jul 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 15 of 61 violations (25%). Brake or tire defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 4 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 13.6% vs 22.3% national; driver 2.7% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 7
  • High speeding: 8
