How Navric scores your fleet.
Navric doesn't invent a proprietary safety metric. It computes your standing the way FMCSA's Safety Measurement System does, then makes every number traceable to the inspection that produced it.
A percentile, not a grade.
Your Navric Score is a fleet safety percentile against carriers with a similar inspection footprint, lower is better. It reconciles all scored BASICs into one verdict line, so a quiet month and a fresh out-of-service inspection can't tell two different stories on the same page.
Each BASIC carries its own FMCSA intervention threshold. “Within threshold” means FMCSA's data does not currently flag that BASIC for intervention. It does not mean zero violations.
Recent events count triple.
SMS time-weights every violation by age. This is why one fresh OOS inspection can move a BASIC more than a year of clean history, and why closing recent items is always the fastest way down.
Scored exactly as FMCSA defines them.
Thresholds shown for property carriers. A BASIC with no qualifying inspections shows “No data”; one that doesn't apply to your operation shows “Not applicable”, never a fabricated score.
The Navric Score is an analytical reading of public FMCSA SMS data, refreshed daily over a 24-month window. It is not an official FMCSA safety rating and is not a substitute for one.
