medium risk
Household Goods Metal: Sheets/Coils/Rolls Liquids/Gases General Freight Building Materials Beverages Paper Products Construction Chemicals
High-Risk Cargo
General Freight, Household Goods

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

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's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Lower so far, not yet proven. 4 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 2 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 3.6 a year. Too short a record to be sure, so the grade counts its crash record as about 14% below typical. The grade counts 6 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Better than peers. Out-of-service orders 0.32× and violations 0.34× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate -18%.
