Administrative and general regulatory violations including operating authority, insurance filing, and registration requirements.
FMCSA Safety Measurement System (SMS)
General and administrative violations cover a broad range of regulatory compliance requirements for motor carriers. These include failure to maintain proper operating authority, missing or insufficient insurance filings, failure to register vehicles in the Unified Registration System, improper marking of commercial motor vehicles, and violations of lease and interchange regulations. While these violations may not directly relate to on-road safety behavior, they indicate a carrier's overall compliance posture and can factor into FMCSA enforcement decisions and compliance reviews.
