Safety heuristic

35 / 100 · Moderate Risk

A BASIC is within 10 points of its FMCSA intervention threshold, the carrier holds a Conditional safety rating, FMCSA flags an acute/critical violation, or an out-of-service rate is above FMCSA's national average. Based on FMCSA intervention thresholds, current SMS inspection results, safety rating, out-of-service status and pending FMCSA actions; not a carrier approval or a prediction of fraud. Confidence: low.

  • FMCSA safety rating: Conditional
  • No BASIC percentiles reported by FMCSA
