CSA 2010: The point system
FMCSA officials have assigned weighted values for various violations that may have noted on inspections or on crash reports.  It is important to note that these weighted values will then be time weighted, divided by relevant inspections and separated into peer groups

That will determine a motor carrier's percentile ranking showing its compliance in a certain BASIC category. That percentile ranking will be the number that FMCSA is watching – not the individual weighted point totals – to determine if an intervention is in order.
