FMCSA BASIC Percentiles
Percentile scale: 0–100 · lower is better · missing values are labeled
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.
