High-Risk Cargo
Drive/Tow Away, Machinery Large, General Freight, Household Goods, Refrigerated Food, Meat

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 probably higher than similar fleets (about a 90% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 500+ 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's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Worse than peers. 145 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 72 a year), including 2 fatal (3 deaths) and 39 with injuries; similar fleets have about 61 a year. The grade counts 221 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.33× and out-of-service orders 0.52× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -13%: 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.

  • Fatal crashes
    2 crashes with 3 fatalities in 24 months (most recent Apr 6, 2026).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • New since the grade was set
    1 crash after Aug 31, 2026. Not in the grade yet.
  • Injury crashes
    39 crashes with 50 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    8 out-of-service violations against drivers: 5 no valid CDL, 3 medical certificate (Sep 2024 – Mar 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 116 of 690 violations (17%). Brake or tire defects led to 115 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.

    Why this link: FMCSA crash report WI0000201099 (Minong Police Department) lists ROEHL TRANSPORT INC’s truck in this crash. This third-party news report covers a crash with the same date, place and number of deaths, matched automatically. It may not name ROEHL TRANSPORT INC and doesn't establish fault. Wrong article?

About “In the news”: these links go to third-party news reports that FRED Score matched automatically to FMCSA crash records — same date and place, with a truck or bus involved, and the same number of deaths or, for a crash that released hazardous materials, the release — and checked a second time before showing. A link doesn't mean this motor carrier caused the crash: FMCSA crash reports don't assign fault, and news coverage can be incomplete or wrong. FRED Score doesn't verify or endorse what the articles say.
