Safety rating: what's yours?
Hey ya'll,
I got a DOT inspection today on my truck. I was informed my safety rating is a 10 out of 100. Zero being the best, 100 the worst. I was told that it showed up on his computer that I was 100% in compliance with CSA 2010. That's good news. Does anyone else know what their score is? 10 sounds good, just want to make sure. Thanks!! -scott

Thanks!! -scott I was stopped in Tuscola, TX two weeks ago by a DOT.He checked every paper work you could imagine and also my logs.He even checked me out on his laptop.When everything came back clean, he walked around the truck and trailer and did a visual inspoection.He said he stopped me for not having a reflective tape on the back of the trailer.He gave me a warning and let me go. I checked my score on the site this week and it was still 94%.I will have to have my local PSC do an inspection on me to to bring that rating to around 50%.This will put an "optional" inspection recommendation on my stats. GMAN, shed some light!

insuff. for now.
"insuificient data" at the moment with an "inspection" recommended.When Jan. rolls around it wouldn't read insufficient, not when they incorporate my MVR, the heavy weight tickets and 2 out of service violations I recieved while hauling containers.

Scott, I have never really understood the scoring, and when FMCSA2010 rolls out, hopefully I can understand the rating.My score at the moment on the FMCSA website is 94%.They have also recommended that when I drive by the "hencoop", an inspection on me is recommended.From what I learned, someone with 54% is satisfactory and my scroing of 94% is normal for a "new entrant.Quite confusing!

What could happen to someone's safety rating with 1 an out of service violation?.Let's say someone with 4 trucks or just 1 truck? I wonder if someone will really be toast with just 1 out of service violation.I also wonder what the "intervention" is all about?Kind of like Driver's ED to maintain your rating?

the most points you can recieve from one inspection is capped at 30. not sure if this includes the 3x multiplier or not.

Mine was a 76, somehow an accident, from another company, with a driver with my name, wound up on my SAFER report. I was able, after many many months to get the accident off of my report, but the points stayed. That is why I fear this CSA2010 for you guys. Myself, I hung up my spurs.
