- Once ranked, data evaluation shows how a carrier measures against peers.
A certain minimum amount of data is required before a percentile rank will be assigned to a driver or motor carrier. The following tables summarize the data required for each Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Category (BASIC) before a percentile rank will be assigned.
All three criteria below, where applicable, must be met before a percentile can be assigned to a motor carrier:
