A clean SMS score is cheaper than a corrected one.
Insurers pull your SMS data at every renewal. An elevated score can mean a 15–40% premium surcharge — or a non-renewal. We catch the violations, crashes, and gaps that move your score before they cost you money.

Based in Atlanta, serving fleets across the Southeast and nationwide.
What SMS actually scores
FMCSA’s Safety Measurement System ranks your carrier against similar fleets using inspection, crash, and investigation data. A high percentile in any BASIC means you look worse than most of your peers — and can trigger CSA interventions.
How percentiles move
Scores use a 24-month lookback, weighted by time and severity. Fresh violations hit harder than old ones; cleaning logs, fixing equipment, and coaching drivers is what drops a BASIC before an audit or warning letter lands.
Unsafe Driving
Speeding, reckless driving, improper lane change, texting, and other moving violations. This BASIC tracks how drivers operate the vehicle on the road, not equipment defects.
Hours-of-Service Compliance
Logbook accuracy, 11-hour driving and 14-hour on-duty limits, 30-minute breaks, and ELD use. Fatigue-related HOS violations weigh heavily here.
Driver Fitness
CDL status, medical certificates, and driving while disqualified or without the proper class of license. Fitness measures whether the person behind the wheel is qualified to operate.
Controlled Substances / Alcohol
Drug and alcohol testing program failures, driving under the influence, and related positive tests. Even a small number of events can spike this BASIC.
Vehicle Maintenance
Brakes, tires, lights, coupling, and out-of-service equipment defects found at inspection. Preventive maintenance and pre-trip discipline are what move this score.
Hazardous Materials Compliance
Placarding, shipping papers, package integrity, and HM-specific loading rules. Applies when you haul HM; unused for carriers with no HM exposure.
Crash Indicator
Reportable crashes involving the carrier, weighted by severity and not solely by fault. It is a measure of crash involvement used alongside the six violation BASICs.
The Atlanta standard for fleet safety
Carriers across the country rely on our clear guidance to keep their fleets compliant. Here's what a few of them say about working with us.
We break down your Safety Measurement System data to find what's dragging your percentile — so we can fix it before a BASIC alert triggers an intervention or a premium surcharge.
