The next four slides show how the Carrier SMS is different from SafeStat
•The example is based on REAL DATA although the carrier information is blacked
out.
•The Carrier in SafeStat is flying under the radar with no SEA values above 75.
•The safety rating here as of 8/2005 is satisfactory. The carrier has held this rating
(the agency’s highest rating) and it’s been out in public, for several years.
•However,
However moving to the next slide,
slide you will see that the carrier has very different
results when measured using current on-road safety performance data provided by
SMS.
This slide shows the carrier who was under the radar is SAFESTAT, is shown under
SMS to have a serious safety deficiency related to Driver Fitness; the early
identification of the problem is good news for both the carrier and the public
•The carrier’s rating is worse than 99% of the carriers evaluated in this BASIC in
this peer group.
•The next screen shows the detailed information resulting in that percentile.
From a carrier’s

perspective as well as the public’s

perspective, identifying this

safety problem early and putting actions in place to fix it before a crash
occurs, increases safety for everyone, and in the long run saves the carrier
money, the government time, and most important, saves lives.
•Such specific safety deficiencies may not warrant a full CR –but may indicate the
need for a focused review which in turn can save carriers time while allowing the

So why is this carrier’s Driver Fitness score so high?
•This shows that it has multiple occurrences of no and expired medical
certificates violations
•Of the 300 inspections related to drivers, 66 inspections have resulted in a
violation of the Driver Fitness BASIC
•SMS is identifying a pattern of behavior across multiple inspections
SMS Facilitates Problem Identification
•The new SMS website allows us to drill down to see further details related to this
high driver fitness BASIC.
•It is clear that various drivers are having the same medical certificate issues, and
these reports are coming in on multiple drivers from multiple states… the problem is
not limited to one problem driver and indicates a process breakdown that the carrier
is now in a position to fix.
