Motor Carrier Safety Profile - REPORTS
The information appearing in this report is the most current in the Census and Compliance Review subsystems of MCMIS. The primary sources for this information are:
- Compliance Reviews (Form MCS-151)
- Carrier Identification Forms (Form MCS-150)
- Other field office contacts with carriers
See the Federal Forms MCS-150 and MCS-151 (Parts A and C) for clarification of this information.

The information appearing in this report is the most current in the SafeStat subsystems of MCMIS. The primary sources for this information are:
- State Recorded Crashes
- Compliance Reviews
- Closed Enforcement Case Data
- Roadside Inspections
- Carrier Identification Forms (Form MCS-150)
SafeStat is designed to make maximum use of readily available Federal motor carrier safety data, yet be expandable to incorporate additional data and associated algorithms. The design involves assessing a carrier in four analytical Safety Evaluation Areas (SEAs).
SafeStat calculates a SafeStat Score to rank carriers in descending order by their safety status (i.e. a carrier with the highest SafeStat Score is the first ranked carrier in terms of poor safety status). SafeStat does not assign SafeStat Scores to all carriers. To obtain a SafeStat Score, a carrier must be deficient in at least two different Safety Evaluation Areas (SEAs). A SEA with a value from 75 to 100 is defined as deficient. SEA Values that are less than 75 are not used in the calculation of a SafeStat Score.
Overall SafeStat and Accident Safety Evaluation Area (SEA) scores have been
temporarily removed from documents and websites available to the public. For
a more thorough explanation see FMCSA’s Analysis and Information Online
website at http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov.

The information appearing in this report covers closed enforcement cases.
The primary source for the information is the Form MCS-32A.
This report contains records regarding enforcement actions against individual motor carriers.
An individual enforcement record contains data identifying the name of the motor carrier,
type of enforcement activity, date of activity, total settlement amount, section numbers
cited in violation and the amount paid for each cited violation.
The data are printed in descending order of the settlement date, therefore, the most
current data are shown first.

The crash information in this report comes from State-reported Crash Reports
submitted through SAFETYNET. This report is submitted for any crash in which a motor
carrier was involved which resulted in the occurrence of either a fatality, an injury or
towing of a vehicle.
Each crash is counted only once according to the highest severity occurrence in the crash
(Fatality, Injury, Towaway). For example, a crash that resulted in a fatality will be
counted as a fatal crash, even if an injury and/or a towaway occurred in the same crash.
A crash that resulted in no fatalities, but resulted in injuries will be counted as an
injury crash. Crashes resulting in no injuries are counted as towaway crashes.
This report is intended to show trend and current information. The data represents crashes
that occurred in the most recent four calendar years.
|
The source of the crash data in this report is the SAFETYNET crash reports submitted by
the State agencies.
The data are printed in descending order of the crash date; therefore, the most current
data are shown first. The report will show all crashes for at least one year. A year is
defined as a total of 12 months of data previous to the date of the report. For example,
a report dated June 24, 1997, will show data from June 24, 1996 to June 23, 1997.
For motor carriers involved in less than 50 crashes in the requested year, the report will also show crashes for the previous year up to a maximum of 50 crashes.
This report of individual crashes is intended to support field investigation of crashes and does not constitute evidence per se.

These data are from roadside vehicle/driver inspections (performed primarily by
State personnel) or terminal vehicle inspections (performed by Federal and State personnel)
and input to MCMIS via SAFETYNET. The report shows trend, average and year-to-date
information.
The measure average number of out-of-service violations per inspection is used
to show the overall nature and trend of problem areas.
The measure % out-of-service inspections is a measure of the severity of these
violations.
DR (Driver), VEH (Vehicle), and HM (Hazardous Material) may not add to the ALL column because two or more of these types
of violations may occur on the same inspection. For example, if a driver OOS
(Out-Of-Service) and a vehicle OOS violation appear in the same inspection, that inspection
will be included once in the calculation of the DR column and once in the VEH column, but
also only once in the ALL column.

This report presents 2 years of inspection characteristics summarized from the date of the report. Forty different types of violations are reported which fall under three broad categories, namely DRIVER, VEHICLE, and HAZMAT.
These data are from roadside vehicle/driver inspections (performed primarily by State personnel) or terminal vehicle inspections (performed by Federal and State personnel). The data are input to MCMIS via SAFETYNET.
The violation categories used here are those used in MCSAP quarterly reports. Abbreviations (6 characters max) are used for brevity.
“Number of Violations” represents the total number of violations of that type. The Driver, Vehicle and Hazmat categories include only those violations that were cited with SAFETYNET violation codes. Violations that were cited with violation codes not listed in Appendix B are included under “INVALID” or “UNKNOWN”.
The PERCENT shown is the percent of all violations (for all inspections) that were of each violation type. The violation categories on this report are mutually exclusive and, therefore, the percentages should add to 100 within plus or minus 1-2 % rounding error.

For motor carriers with less than 50 inspections in the requested year, the report will show inspections for the previous year up to a maximum of 50 inspections.
Each individual inspection is displayed in a five-line format. Driver Data will only appear in your report if you have been authorized to receive that information.

This report contains information relating to Cargo Tank Facilities. A single company
(which has one USDOT number) may have several different facilities that perform work on
cargo tanks or cargo tank vehicles. Each facility will have its own Cargo Tank Number, and
corresponding Cargo Tank record. This record contains basic identifying and contact
information, as well as information about the type of cargo tank related work performed, the
certification stamps, and the design certified engineers used by the company. If the company
being profiled does not design, repair, manufacture, inspect or test cargo tanks, then they likely
do not have a Cargo Tank Number/Record, and therefore this report will not print.

This section informs the requester which, if any, of the CSP Reports were not printed. They may not be printed for several reasons: due to insufficient data, no data available, or if the report was specifically not requested during ordering.
This section is appended at the end of the CSP and is only included with a CSP that has insufficient or no data available for one or more of the CSP Reports, or has reports that were not requested during ordering.
Note: This section will not be included with a CSP that has sufficient information on all reports.

Inspection and Crash data in the Profile are sent to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) by State enforcement agencies. Only State enforcement agencies can resolve concerns about missing or inaccurate Inspection or Crash information. This report includes a list of the contact information for the FMCSA office in each state. Because the data in the Company Safety Profile (CSP) is collected by the states, this information is included to help CSP users address issues they may find with the data in the CSP.
Another resource for addressing issues with the CSP data is the DataQs system. The DataQs system is an electronic means for filing concerns about Federal and State data released to the public by the FMCSA. Through this system, data concerns are automatically forwarded to the appropriate office for resolution. The system also allows filers to monitor the status of each filing.
Information disseminated by the FMCSA includes data reported to FMCSA through the requirements of Federal and State programs. Release of these data is done in the interest of information exchange and to satisfy the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act. The United States government assumes no liability for the use of the data.
For more information, visit the DataQs website at http://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov/ [Opens in New Window] .
