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.

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

High impact

Estimated Hours-of-Service Compliance percentile of 87% 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 contributing9 violations · 2 OOS (24 mo)

  • 395.24C1I-ELDDFIHOS (ELD) - Driver failing to manually input annotations in ELD when applicable1× · 3%
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 25 pts in ~12 mo

Current trend 50% followed 100% followed 65% line

Driver out-of-service rate exceeds the national average

High impact

Driver OOS rate is 15.4% 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

Phone / texting violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving

Medium impact

Estimated Unsafe Driving percentile of 58% is close to the 65% intervention line — worth getting ahead of before it crosses.

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

Drugs / alcohol violations are the leading contributor to Controlled Substances/Alcohol
