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.

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.
