Cargo

23.0
minimal risk
Liquids/Gases

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

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.60× similar fleets) would put it in Excellent; this rule holds it at Strong:

  • Excellent withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.60× class

The downside is never capped.

Expected crash rate is about 40% lower than similar fleets.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 50–99 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
Leans better, not yet proven. 1 injury crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 2.6 a year. The grade counts 2 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.52×, violations 0.52× and out-of-service orders 0.64× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -15%.
