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 lower than similar fleets (about a 70% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: for-hire 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.

Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.42× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.41× and violations 0.57×. Together they move its crash estimate -7%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.
