Carrier interventions can be triggered by:

Carrier interventions can be triggered by:

• A. a driver receiving a ticket
• B. a carrier receiving scores that exceed thresholds in one or more BASICs
• C. a randomized drawing
• D. a low score in more than one BASIC.

Answer: (B)

Carrier interventions are triggered by the safety performance of the carrier as shown in the BASICs. When a carrier’s scores exceed the established thresholds in one or more BASICs, FMCSA may step in with actions to help improve safety, such as required corrective measures or closer monitoring. This is about overall safety performance across the carrier, not an isolated incident. A driver receiving a ticket is an individual event and doesn’t automatically cause a carrier-level intervention. A randomized drawing isn’t part of how these interventions are determined. A low score in more than one BASIC would indicate better safety, not a trigger for intervention.
