Truck fleet safety is tracked by US DOT’s Safe Stat system which tracks data on crashes, roadside inspections, on-site compliance reviews and enforcement history. High scores indicate problems and result in increased scrutiny by enforcement officers making roadside stops. Attention to preventive maintenance checks improves safety and Safe Stat scores.
