['Compliance, Safety, Accountability CSA']
- Motor carriers’ safety performance is updated on a monthly basis.
- New data is brought into the calculations, and events no longer meeting the timeline are removed.
Once a carrier is measured in terms of safety performance, a picture starts to emerge of how the company stacks up against peers. On a monthly basis (every 30 days), carriers and drivers are ranked within each BASIC and assigned a percentile score. The percentile indicates how well or poorly a driver or carrier is performing on each BASIC, with a percentile of 0% being the best and 100% being the worst.
Roadside inspections and crashes are pulled from the federal database using a predetermined monthly schedule. Current data will include events occurring or reported within the past 30 days and exclude events that are beyond two years for carriers and three years for drivers.
