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

Not enough record to grade yet.

57 inspections and 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

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 the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2 a year), including 3 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.8 a year. The grade counts 6 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.74× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they barely move its crash estimate.

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.

    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 4 no valid CDL (Jan 2025 – Jan 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 22 of 65 violations (34%). Brake or light defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Unsafe driving
