Monitoring Plans

For carriers shopping for insurance or trying to reduce their premium at renewal.

• –Your driver, vehicle, and hazmat OOS rates pulled directly from FMCSA — with the raw inspection counts so you know how statistically meaningful each number is.
• –Side-by-side comparison against national averages for each inspection type.
• –Where you land in the four carrier tiers insurers actually use: preferred, standard, watch, or flagged.
• –Dollar estimate of what your current rate is adding to (or saving on) your annual premium based on your fleet size.
• –Three specific actions to improve or protect the rate, tailored to where you stand.
• –30/60/90/120-day forward look showing how the rate affects your next renewal if nothing changes.

For carriers who just got a bad inspection, are seeing their scores climb, or want to know what freight brokers see when they look you up.

• –All 7 BASIC scores from FMCSA's Safety Measurement System — Unsafe Driving, Hours of Service, Driver Fitness, Controlled Substances/Alcohol, Vehicle Maintenance, Hazardous Materials, and Crash Indicator.
• –Each score compared against its published intervention threshold. Crossing a threshold triggers a formal FMCSA warning letter, then targeted inspections, then an on-site audit.
• –Plain explanation of what each BASIC measures and how FMCSA calculates it — so you understand what's actually driving your numbers.
• –Which scores are publicly visible to brokers and shippers, and how they use them.
• –How far you are from each threshold, and what it would take to cross it.
• –Corrective actions specific to your flagged categories.

For carriers worried about losing freight contracts, facing an insurance renewal, or unsure how long their current rating will hold.

• –Your current safety rating — Satisfactory, Conditional, Unsatisfactory, or Unrated — and when it was last reviewed.
• –A plain explanation of how FMCSA issues ratings, what triggers a review, and how long a rating typically lasts before FMCSA looks again.
• –Risk assessment: based on your OOS rate, inspection history, and time since last review, how likely is a compliance review in the next 12 months.
• –What a Conditional or Unsatisfactory rating actually costs — insurance re-rating (typically 15–40% premium increase), which major brokers publicly require Satisfactory, and what lenders require for truck financing.
• –What you can do now to protect your rating or start the process of upgrading from Conditional.

For safety managers preparing for a management review, or any carrier who wants to understand their violation pattern before FMCSA does.

• –Your complete roadside inspection history for the past 24 months — total inspections, driver vs. vehicle split, OOS counts, and OOS rates — all compared against national benchmarks.
• –Your top violation categories ranked by frequency, with the violation code, a plain-English description of what it means, whether it's an OOS-level violation, and the published FMCSA fine range for each.
• –Trend analysis: is your OOS rate improving, holding steady, or getting worse compared to 12 months ago?
• –What your violation pattern predicts — which FMCSA enforcement actions are most likely based on what's showing up repeatedly.
• –Estimated annual fine exposure from your top three violation categories, with the math shown.
• –An inspection prep checklist built around your specific violation categories.

For carriers in their first 18 months of operation. FMCSA audits 100% of new entrant carriers — not some, not most, every single one.

• –A 17-item audit checklist evaluated against your public FMCSA record — operating authority, insurance filings, MCS-150 currency, BOC-3, UCR, driver qualification files, medical certificates, ELD compliance, drug and alcohol program, annual vehicle inspections, and more.
• –Each item marked verified compliant, needs your confirmation, or identified gap — with the source for each determination.
• –Your estimated audit window based on your registration date. FMCSA typically schedules new entrant audits between months 9 and 18.
• –What happens if you fail: probationary status, and if not corrected within 45 days, your operating authority is revoked. That means out of business.
• –Cost to remediate each identified gap — most are inexpensive or free to fix if you catch them before the auditor does.
• –A 30/60/90-day action plan to get compliant before your window opens.

For carriers who need to justify compliance spending to an owner, a board, or a lender — or who want to understand the full financial cost of their current gaps.

• –Every compliance gap identified from your public FMCSA record, evaluated against published FMCSA fine schedules.
• –A weighted fine exposure calculation for each gap — what the fine range is, how likely it is to be triggered, and what your estimated annual exposure is from that gap alone.
• –Hidden costs that don't show up as fines: insurance re-rating from a Conditional safety rating, truck downtime from an OOS order, and load rejections from brokers running automated carrier checks.
• –A total annual risk exposure number — fines plus hidden costs — that you can put in a slide or a budget conversation.
• –A business case table: your total exposure vs. the cost of fixing it.
• –A priority remediation list showing what to fix first, how long it takes, and what it costs to fix.
