Cargo

medium risk
General Freight Other: UNSPECIFIED
High-Risk Cargo
General Freight

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.

Not enough record to grade yet.

23 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but not by enough to grade.

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.

A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-9 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.

Ask
Loss runs for the last 3 years, and confirm the fleet is operating at its filed size (11 power units).
What the record shows
Crash history
betterworse
Leans better, not yet proven. 0 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months; similar fleets have about 0.5 a year. The grade counts 1 crash in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Worse than peers. Violations 1.58× and out-of-service orders 1.34× the rate expected for its inspections. Together they move its crash estimate +8%: roadside results weigh far less than crash history.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.

  • Brakes and lights
    Brakes are 11 of 42 violations (26%). Brake or light defects led to 5 out-of-service orders.
    Ask: the preventive-maintenance schedule and shop records.
  • Falsified logs
    2 false-log violations in 24 months.
    Ask: how hours are audited against ELD and fuel records.
Strengths
  • No reportable crashes in 24 months.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
