SaferGrade republishes public records from the FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) census, Safety Measurement System (SMS) input files, and MOTUS licensing/insurance datasets. The SaferGrade score is a records-based composite of public FMCSA data. It is observational only: it summarizes what the records show relative to national baselines, and it is not a safety-fitness determination. FMCSA itself cautions that SMS data alone cannot be used to draw conclusions about a carrier's safety fitness, and FMCSA/SMS data has known limitations (self-reported fields, reporting lag, exposure differences). Readers should not describe any carrier as "safe" or "unsafe" on the basis of this site.
