How to evaluate a carrier's crash record
- Look at frequency, not any single crash. A single crash record rarely tells you anything decisive about a carrier. Pull the carrier's full multi-year crash list and look at the rate over time — clusters and trends matter more than any one event.
- Calculate crashes per power unit when data is available. Divide the 24-month crash count by the carrier's reported power units. A rate of one crash per power unit per year is high; a rate of one crash per ten power units per year is closer to industry baseline. Skip this step when power_units is missing or zero — the rate is meaningless without it.
- Filter for fault-attributed crashes. FMCSA crash records do not flag fault. To distinguish preventable from non-preventable, check whether the carrier requested a Preventability Determination through DataQs and what FMCSA ruled. Only the preventable crashes are a clean signal of carrier or driver behavior.
- Compare against fleet-size peers. Crash counts cannot be compared directly between fleets of different sizes. Use the SMS Crash Indicator percentile, or compare the carrier's crashes-per-power-unit rate against the median for its fleet-size cohort. A 50-truck carrier with 4 crashes in 24 months looks very different from a 5-truck carrier with the same count.
- Cross-reference with the SMS BASIC Crash Indicator. FMCSA's Safety Measurement System publishes a Crash Indicator percentile when the carrier has enough crashes and exposure to score. A score in the 65th percentile or higher triggers federal intervention thresholds. Always sanity-check raw crash counts against the percentile before drawing conclusions.
