FMCSA BASIC Percentiles
Percentile scale: 0–100 · lower is better · missing values are labeled
FMCSA's public BASIC data available to us is dated 27 Jan 2017, so it is not shown or scored. Check current percentiles on the FMCSA SMS site.
Percentiles rank a carrier against peers; FMCSA intervenes at or above a fixed threshold per BASIC (65 or 80 for most carriers). FMCSA does not publish percentiles for most property carriers, so those show as not reported. The crash indicator is not a crash count.
Safety heuristic
60 / 100 · High Risk
A BASIC is at or above its FMCSA intervention threshold, FMCSA has a pending suspension of the operating authority, or an insurance cancellation is pending with no replacement on file. 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: high.
- FMCSA operating authority suspension pending (effective 2026-11-05)
