Notes:


  • Elements only appear if they have value. Therefore only elements applicable to the carrier are generated
  • Some elements are mutually exclusive and may not appear together. For example if allowToOperate = Y, outOfServiceDate does not have value
  • Unsafe Driving, Driver Fitness, Fatigued Driving, Controlled Substance/Alcohol and Vehicle Maintenance are the only reported BASIC
  • For information regarding BASIC elements please, visit FMCSA CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability)
