This graph displays a carrier’s measure based on 24 months of on-road performance. Zero indicates the best performance. To see how the measure is calculated click here . To see how the measure relates to percentile click here. Expand for more information.
Carrier violations or crashes are weighted by time and severity to produce a measure for that carrier in each BASIC. The measure only considers individual performance based on 24 months of data, with a measure of 0 indicating best performance. The graph below gives a summary of the carrier’s individual performance measure in a specific BASIC over a selected period of time. Select from the drop-down to view this actual performance data along with how this data would appear applying the most recent SMS methodology.

for further monitoring.
The
symbol is not intended to imply any federal safety rating of the carrier pursuant
to 49 USC 31144. Readers should not draw conclusions about a carrier's overall safety
condition simply based on the data displayed in this system. Unless a motor carrier
in the SMS has received an UNSATISFACTORY safety rating pursuant to 49 CFR Part
385, or has otherwise been ordered to discontinue operations by the FMCSA, it is
