Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

Not enough record to grade yet.

24 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: interstate 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.

Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 0.5 a year.
