Carrier interventions can be triggered by:

Carrier interventions can be triggered by:

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

Answer: (B)

Interventions are tied to the carrier’s safety performance as measured by FMCSA’s BASIC scores. If a carrier’s score exceeds the defined threshold in any BASIC category (such as Unsafe Driving, Fatigue Management, Vehicle Maintenance, or Cargo Securement), FMCSA can intervene with safety programs, corrective actions, or audits. That threshold-exceeding condition is the trigger, and it can happen in one or more BASICs. A driver receiving a ticket isn’t the carrier-level trigger by itself, and having low scores in multiple BASICs isn’t the specific trigger unless those scores exceed thresholds. A randomized drawing isn’t related to safety interventions.
