What the BASIC table shows
What the BASIC table shows
Each BASIC (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Category) is a slice of the safety record — Unsafe Driving, Hours-of-Service, Driver Fitness, Controlled Substances/Alcohol, Vehicle Maintenance, and Hazmat. "% of cohort" is this carrier's time-weighted violation count divided by the average among similarly sized peers. Below 100% means below cohort average; above 100% means above. Acute or critical violations are flagged in their own column and reflect FMCSA's most serious citation classes.
