A quick, plain-English check of whether this carrier looks safe and legitimate to hire — based on public FMCSA and U.S. Treasury records. It's a screening aid, not a guarantee; always confirm on the official FMCSA SAFER site.
These checks use public U.S. government records — the carrier's license status, safety-inspection and crash history, ownership links, and the U.S. Treasury sanctions list — refreshed automatically. A flag doesn't prove wrongdoing; it's a prompt to verify before you do business.

FMCSA Safety Measurement System (SMS) BASIC Scores
FMCSA's Safety Measurement System assigns percentile scores (0–100) across seven Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs). Lower percentiles indicate better safety performance compared to similar carriers. Data from FMCSA SMS public dataset, refreshed monthly.
Unsafe Driving
Hours-of-Service
Driver Fitness
Controlled Substances
Vehicle Maintenance
How to read these scores: Percentile rankings compare this carrier against similar carriers (by fleet size and operation type). A score of 25 means this carrier is safer than 75% of peers in that category. A score of 85 means only 15% of peers performed worse. FMCSA flags a BASIC as "alert" when the carrier exceeds intervention thresholds — these warrant direct verification with FMCSA.
