One removed violation can cross a threshold.
SMS time-weights every violation by age: the newest count triple. So a single recent item cited in error can carry the same weight as a year of clean inspections, and push a BASIC over its intervention threshold. Removing it is often the fastest, most defensible way to move your percentile.
The catch: most fleets never look. The disputable items are buried in the inspection record, and building each case by hand takes time the safety office doesn't have.
Find it, build the case, track the result.
Find
Navric scans your 24-month inspection and crash history for items likely to qualify: duplicates, dismissed citations, wrong-carrier assignments, and crashes eligible for review.
Build the case
For each candidate it drafts the Request for Data Review, grounded in the specific inspection, with the evidence checklist already assembled.
Track the outcome
Watch each request through review and see the change to your BASIC the moment it resolves, no spreadsheet to maintain.
The case is written before you open it.
Navric pairs the flagged violation with the maintenance and disposition records that contradict it, drafts the rationale in plain language, and assembles the evidence, so what's usually an afternoon of paperwork is ready to review in a minute.
The grounds FMCSA will review.
A Request for Data Review can challenge inspection violations and crash records on these grounds. Navric flags the ones your record supports.
Violation cited in error
The violation didn’t occur, or doesn’t match what the report describes.
Duplicate record
The same inspection or violation appears more than once on your profile.
Wrong carrier or driver
An inspection or violation assigned to you that belongs to someone else.
Citation dismissed
The underlying citation was dismissed or reduced in court.
Crash not preventable (CPDP)
A crash eligible for the Crash Preventability Determination Program: struck in the rear, while legally stopped, and more.
Data-entry error
Wrong date, code, unit, or out-of-service status recorded against you.
Honest about what a dispute can and can't do.
The FMCSA decides
Navric prepares the strongest case your record supports. Whether it's accepted is the reviewing authority's call, never ours.
Only what the record holds
Disputes are built from your inspection and crash data. Where the record is silent, Navric says so rather than inventing a basis.
Not legal advice
This is a compliance tool, not a law firm. For contested citations with legal exposure, involve your counsel.
