How This Ranking Works

FMCSA scores every carrier on seven Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs): Unsafe Driving, Crash Indicator, HOS Compliance, Vehicle Maintenance, Controlled Substances, Hazardous Materials, and Driver Fitness. Each BASIC produces a percentile from 0 to 100 — lower is better. This ranking averages all scored BASICs per carrier and sorts from lowest (safest) to highest. Carriers must have at least 3 scored BASICs and 5 power units to qualify.

FMCSA Safety Measurement System (SMS)
BASIC percentiles are relative rankings among peer groups and update monthly. A low percentile does not guarantee zero risk — it means the carrier performs better than most peers on inspections and violations that FMCSA has on record.
