No BASIC over an intervention threshold

A BASIC over threshold typically triggers an FMCSA warning letter first, then an off-site or on-site investigation. Scores are recalculated monthly from 24 months of roadside data — old violations age out, but only if new ones stop landing.

Knowing you're in trouble is the easy part.

Bringing a BASIC back under threshold takes DataQs challenges, driver coaching, maintenance discipline and 24 months of patience. We've walked carriers out of interventions for four decades — start with a call.
