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.

Upside Withheld

Its risk relativity (0.61× similar fleets) would put it in Strong; this rule holds it at Satisfactory:

  • Held one band lower (interim): the filed fleet isn't corroborated roadside — see Exposure Unverified below

The downside is never capped.

Exposure Unverified

The expected crashes behind this grade assume the filed fleet of 77 power units is real, but the roadside record corroborates little of it — 10 units seen in 24 months, 0.08 inspections per filed unit-year. The grade's relativity to class is unchanged; its confidence tier is cut to reflect the unverified exposure, and until the fleet is confirmed an Excellent grade shows as Strong and a Strong as Satisfactory. Verify the fleet size before relying on the crash expectation.

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
Leans better, not yet proven. 1 crash on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 0.5 a year); similar fleets have about 1.4 a year. The grade counts 2 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Out-of-service orders 1.31× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they barely move its crash estimate.

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.

  • Driver qualification
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL (Mar 2025 – Jun 2026).
    Ask: driver qualification files and hiring standards.
  • Lights and brakes
    Lights are 11 of 25 violations (44%). Light or brake defects led to 6 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate
    41.7% of vehicle inspections end out of service vs 22.3% nationally (5 of 12). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.31× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Driver out-of-service rate
    16.7% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (2 of 12). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 1.31× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
  • Filed fleet not seen on the road
    Only 10 of the 77 filed power units were seen at a roadside inspection in 24 months (12 inspections in all). The crash expectation behind the grade assumes all 77 are running. Its grade is held one band lower until the fleet is confirmed.
    Ask: how many trucks are actually operating, with the vehicle schedule.
Strengths
  • 1 crash in 24 months. No injuries, no fatalities.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 1
  • Historical FMCSA safety rating
    FMCSA once rated this motor carrier Conditional or Unsatisfactory, but the rating is stale or superseded — the motor carrier still holds active operating authority (a current Unsatisfactory would have it revoked), so it does not reflect current standing. Shown for context, not as a current finding.
