Source: FMCSA Licensing & Insurance (L&I), public data. This shows the carrier’s federal insurance filings (BMC-91X liability, BMC-34 cargo) — the federally-required minimums on file for operating authority — not the carrier’s full commercial policy (its actual auto combined-single-limit, general liability, cargo, or workers’ comp, which appear on the carrier’s ACORD certificate of insurance). Always confirm current coverage with a COI from the carrier’s agent before making a vetting decision.

Recommendations

What’s driving each score, what to do about it, and where it could go.

Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving

High impact

Estimated Unsafe Driving percentile of 79% is at/over the 65% intervention line. Carriers with a BASIC in alert are prioritized for enforcement (warning letters, audits) and inspected more often — which tends to generate still more violations.

What’s contributing7 violations (24 mo)

  • 392.22A-DDriver - Failed to activate hazard warning signal flashers2× · 5%
What to do
  • Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily
  • Set and enforce a governed road speed; review telematics/dashcam speed events weekly
Projected estimatecould improve up to 31 pts in ~12 mo
nowin 12 months
Current trend 50% followed 100% followed 65% line

Vehicle and driver out-of-service rate exceeds the national average

High impact

Vehicle OOS rate is 37.5% vs the 22% national average. Driver OOS rate is 11.5% vs the 6.7% national average. Carriers above the national OOS average draw more enforcement attention (audits, roadside stops) and can see higher insurance premiums.

What to do
  • Review recent inspections with out-of-service violations and fix the root causes with equipment and drivers
  • Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
  • Reinforce thorough pre-trip and post-trip inspections; retrain where needed

A high share of violations are occurring in Jackson County, TX

Medium impact

6 of 13 violations in the last 12 months (46%) came from inspections in Jackson County, TX. That can mean tougher enforcement there or simply more of your miles run through it — either way it's worth a look.

What to do
  • Review the inspections from Jackson County, TX to spot recurring issues
  • Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance

Low impact

Estimated Hours-of-Service Compliance percentile of 51% is under the 65% line. In decent shape, but here's what's driving it.

What’s contributing3 violations · 2 OOS (24 mo)
False log / RODS2 OOS3 viol100%

  • 395.8F01Drivers record of duty status not current1× · 26%
What to do
  • Audit ELD edits and duty-status annotations weekly; a false log is a high-severity, high-visibility violation
  • Retrain on correct logging and never letting a load pressure a driver into a false entry
  • Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected estimatecould improve up to 24 pts in ~12 mo

Current trend 50% followed 100% followed 65% line

Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention

Low impact

Estimated Controlled Substances/Alcohol percentile of 0% is under the 80% line. In decent shape, but here's what's driving it.

What to do
  • Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment

Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance

Low impact

Estimated Vehicle Maintenance percentile of 57% is under the 80% line. In decent shape, but here's what's driving it.
