A safety fitness rating certificate is mandatory for all commercial carriers and it shows that they meet a minimum standard of carrier fitness.
The rating can be one of the following categories:
- Satisfactory,
- Satisfactory-unaudited,
- Conditional, or
- Unsatisfactory.
The rating is based on factors such as collisions, inspections, convictions, and audits.
