What determines Unfit in terms of process and score for carriers?
FMCSA uses the safety rating methodology as outlined in 49 CFR Part 385 and will continue to use this methodology until the rulemaking process is completed. Accordingly, just like today a motor carrier will receive an Unsatisfactory safety rating following an on-site review if FMCSA determines that the carrier’s safety management controls fail to meet the safety fitness standard outlined in 49 CFR Part 385.
