- Power-unit count and radius of operation
- Driver experience and CDL MVR records
- Commodity hauled (general freight vs hazmat vs auto)
- Three-year auto loss ratio
- DOT inspection / out-of-service rate
The first three of those typically explain 60-70% of the spread between a low-end and high-end premium on otherwise comparable operations.

- Loss-control consultation engagement
The first item on the list usually delivers the largest single credit at renewal. Combined with the second and third, it is realistic for a clean medical waste disposal company to land 15-25% below the standard premium.
