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 about the same as similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 100–199 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 0.5× as often as the median active fleet of 100–199 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year); similar fleets have about 2.3 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 11% below typical. The grade counts 6 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.53× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +7%: 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.

  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 13 of 39 violations (33%). Brake or light defects led to 2 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • 3 crashes in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • Driver out-of-service rate 2.6% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
