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.

Per 100 PUs

FMCSA keeps the Crash Indicator percentile private, and its measure needs a power-unit history public data doesn’t expose — so it can’t be estimated yet. VioCodes now records power units monthly, so a calibrated Crash estimate should light up over time. These are the public crash facts (all state-reportable crashes count, regardless of fault).

“Projected” estimates the next monthly SMS run from inspections on record now. FMCSA marks the BASIC percentile itself “Not Public,” so the percentile shown is a VioCodes estimate of how the carrier ranks against its peers, presented as a likely range (shaded on the gauge) and calibrated against real carriers. Crash Indicator has no public estimate — FMCSA keeps its measures fully private. Estimates, not official FMCSA figures. Not affiliated with FMCSA.

Recommendations

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

Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance

High impact

Estimated Vehicle Maintenance percentile of 100% is at/over the 80% 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 to do

Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight

Projected estimatecould improve up to 10 pts in ~12 mo

nowin 12 months

Current trend 50% followed 100% followed 80% line

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

High impact

Vehicle OOS rate is 57.1% vs the 22% national average. Driver OOS rate is 30% 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

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
