BASICs OVERVIEW 1
You want to continue bypassing weigh stations, saving time and money. But you have Alerts in some BASICs and your ISS (Inspection Selection System) score is too high. It’s time to take action.
WHERE DO YOU START?
What are BASICs and ISS? As you’ve seen, the FMCSA has a language of its own, mostly expressed in
acronyms. To understand how your company is evaluated by FMCSA, you must first understand its language.
BASICs (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories) are areas of a company’s safety and regulatory compliance. FMCSA compiles data in seven BASICs and compares the results of similar motor carriers. The result provides an individual motor carrier’s overall CSA (Compliance, Safety and Accountability) safety percentile ranking. The seven BASICs are:
• Vehicle Maintenance • Unsafe Diving • Hours of Service Compliance • Driver Fitness • Controlled Substances & Alcohol • Hazardous Materials Compliance • Crash Indicator
