    Methodology

    Scoring method 2026-10-26-1

    Illustrative data

    FMCSA data use notes. The MileVet score is computed from public raw records: company census, inspections, violations, crashes, and MOTUS authority and insurance filings. It is not an FMCSA SMS percentile, BASIC measure, or safety rating, and it is not a statement by FMCSA. FMCSA data use notes are on the methodology page. Use the factor list, not the number alone, and apply your own underwriting judgment.
