medium risk

High-Risk Cargo
General Freight, 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 an 80% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 10–19 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

▲ Similar fleets 1.0×
Leaning Poor. Its estimate (1.58× similar fleets) is in the Poor range, but the record isn't strong enough to be 60% sure it is above the Poor line (1.57×), so the grade stays Marginal.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
Leans worse, not yet proven. 3 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 1.5 a year), including 2 with injuries; similar fleets have about 0.7 a year. The grade counts 6 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Violations 2.20× and out-of-service orders 1.97× the rate expected for its inspections, but unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 0.61×. Together they move its crash estimate +6%: 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.

  • Injury crashes
    2 crashes with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    8 out-of-service violations against drivers: 5 no valid CDL, 1 other parts, 1 hours of service (Sep 2024 – May 2026).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 35 of 85 violations (41%). Brake or light defects led to 14 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    52.9% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (9 of 17). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.97× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    23.1% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (6 of 26). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.97× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
Strengths
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Current adverse FMCSA safety rating
    FMCSA currently rates this motor carrier Conditional or Unsatisfactory — a recent formal finding of safety-management deficiencies. Treat as a serious underwriting concern.
