FMCSA · Safety Measurement System register

Carrier safety by state — license

The safety register is a public record, and a business that needs it in bulk needs it as data rather than as pages. What is sold here is a license to the register this desk holds, at the rights scope that matches what the buyer intends to do with it, from one state's carriers up to the whole register with redistribution.

Who buys it

Buyers are the organizations that build on the register rather than read it: logistics and underwriting platforms that score carriers, consultancies that benchmark fleets, publishers that cite federal records, research groups, and public bodies that need the record as data.

Questions

What is licensed?
The records this desk holds for the register: the motor carriers the census registers, the inspections recorded against them, the violations found under each safety category, and the reportable crashes on file.
What do the scopes mean?
One state covers the carriers the register bases in that state. The national scope covers the whole register for use inside the buying organization. Redistribution adds the right to pass the records on to others.
How is it delivered, and how often?
As a dated delivery of the records at the scope bought, with the source line that belongs to every figure. A license is annual, and the register is delivered as it stands on the day of delivery.
What if I need something the license does not cover?
A research engagement is quoted separately for a question the register can answer. It is published work rather than a data delivery, and it is agreed before it begins.

How the figures are built

Every figure is the one its source document printed, shown with the file it came from. The three shares that are divided and the positions that are ranked are named on one page. Nothing is estimated. How each figure is defined.
