low risk
Logs/Poles/Beams/Lumber Building Materials Construction

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

Expected crash rate is about 7% higher than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of about 20 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Leaning Marginal. Its estimate (1.07× similar fleets) is in the Marginal range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Marginal line (1.06×), so the grade stays Satisfactory.

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.

  • Lapse in liability filings
    192 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (May 14, 2023 – Nov 22, 2023) while the authority required one. A filing received later can be back-dated and close a lapse. Not in the grade.
    Ask: what covered the fleet during the gap.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
