High-Risk Cargo
Machinery Large, General Freight

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 an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 20–49 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 better, not yet proven. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 1 a year. The grade counts 2 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.46× and violations 0.50× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -14%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 1 person hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lapse in liability filings
    No liability filing on FMCSA's file since Jun 1, 2023 (1078 days through May 14, 2026) while the authority required one. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
  • Brakes and cargo securement
    Brakes are 5 of 21 violations (24%). Brake or cargo securement defects led to 5 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Unsafe driving
    Cited 2 for speeding 15+ mph over or in a work zone and 1 for phone use.
    Ask: telematics, speed governance and phone policy.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
