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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

101 inspections and 6 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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 the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 6 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 3 a year), including 3 with injuries; similar fleets have about 1.8 a year. The grade counts 8 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.40×, violations 0.44× and out-of-service orders 0.70× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -18%. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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.

  • Injury crashes
    3 crashes with 5 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Lapse in liability filings
    396 days without a liability filing on FMCSA's record (May 14, 2023 – Jun 13, 2024) 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.
  • Drivers put out of service
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Mar 2025 – Jul 2025).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 12 of 30 violations (40%). Brake or light defects led to 4 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 2.0% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
  • 78% of inspections found no violations.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 2
