In part, carriers are evaluated and safety ratings assigned based on compliance or noncompliance with a series of “acute” and “critical” regulations. Other factors include vehicle and driver out-of-service rates and accident history.
The list of acute and critical regulations can be found in Part 385 Appendix B Section VII.
Points are assigned when the auditor finds noncompliance with acute regulations or patterns of noncompliance with critical regulations. A pattern is more than one violation; when several documents are reviewed for compliance with a particular regulation, a pattern is found when 10 percent of the documents show a violation.
