When this page is useful

FMCSA’s Safety Measurement System uses inspection, violation and crash data to calculate BASIC measures and, where applicable, percentile ranks. Review the underlying data and inspection history before deciding what corrective action is appropriate. This page is for carriers, owner-operators and related transportation businesses that need to understand the service area before sharing details with DOT Compliance Companies.

What a careful review should cover

A careful review starts with facts that can be checked: BASIC or inspection issue, inspection dates and reports and corrective actions already taken. Those details help define the scope of the issue and the records or requirements that may need review.

How DOT Compliance Companies can help

DOT Compliance Companies can review the request and help identify the private compliance support, record review or filing assistance that may be appropriate. No filing result, data correction, safety-rating change, audit result, price or government response time is guaranteed.

Official source to check

What to have ready

Have the BASIC involved, relevant inspection dates and reports, the underlying violations or crash data being reviewed and details of corrective action already taken.

Details worth gathering

  • BASIC or inspection issue
  • inspection dates and reports
  • corrective actions already taken
Regulatory note: SMS BASIC measures and percentile ranks are not the same as an FMCSA safety rating. A safety rating is issued through a separate FMCSA process. Check CSA Safety Measurement System.
