Cargo

27.0
low risk
Building Materials Construction

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; these rules hold it at Strong:

  • Excellent withheld: the posterior is not confident enough that risk sits below 0.60× class
  • Excellent withheld: a fatal crash inside the window

The downside is never capped.

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

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 200–499 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
Better than peers. 12 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 6 a year), including 1 fatal (1 death) and 5 with injuries; similar fleets have about 9 a year. The grade counts 17 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Violations 0.42× and out-of-service orders 0.62× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -11%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

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 crash
    1 crash with 1 fatality in 24 months (most recent Jan 15, 2025).
    Ask: the accident register and loss runs for these crashes.
  • Injury crashes
    5 crashes with 6 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Oct 2025 – Nov 2025).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Brakes and tires
    Brakes are 42 of 122 violations (34%). Brake or tire defects led to 23 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
Strengths
  • Driver out-of-service rate 0.8% vs 6.7% national.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 8
  • High speeding: 7
