How it works

FMCSA's rules, applied to FMCSA's data

Matrix Score follows FMCSA's published Safety Measurement System methodology step by step, using the safety data FMCSA publishes openly every month.

STEP 1

Enter a USDOT number

Any interstate or intrastate carrier in FMCSA's census, active or inactive.

STEP 2

We rank it against true peers

Each BASIC measure is ranked within its FMCSA safety event group, with Combination and Straight fleets separated and data sufficiency rules applied.

STEP 3

You get the full picture

Percentiles against the right intervention thresholds, plus the crashes, inspections and violations behind them.

Accuracy

Validated against FMCSA

96%

of tested BASIC percentiles landed within 2 points of FMCSA's own values, with an average gap of under 1 point. Every report says where its numbers come from and when they were calculated.

October 2026 validation: 50 BASIC percentiles across 15 general freight, hazmat and passenger carriers of every fleet size. Matrix Score is a proprietary rating; small differences from FMCSA can occur.
