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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

85 inspections and 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but not by enough to grade.

Similar fleets: for-hire fleets of 10–19 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-7 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (6 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.4 a year.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Out-of-service orders 1.46× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.75×. Together they barely move its crash estimate. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Drivers put out of service
    7 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 hours of service, 2 no valid CDL, 1 medical certificate (Jan 2025 – Sep 2025).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 31 of 83 violations (37%). Brake or light defects led to 12 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    32.2% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (19 of 59). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.46× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Falsified logs
    5 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Unusual inspection rate
    Inspections per truck fall outside the normal range (1st–99th percentile), which can point to a mis-reported fleet size or data issues.
