A number of carriers have requested their own on-site audits as a means of evaluating and improving their own operations. NATC provides an overall numerical rating of 0 to 10 for each C.R.I.P. performed. This rating is derived from a formula which takes the weighted values of each question asked on the multi page audit report and divides the score by the maximum applicable points possible for that carrier review. A copy of the multi page completed CRIP report is left with the carrier during the exit interview. The major benefit of receiving a numerical rating is that it allows both the shipper and carrier to compare the operations of various carriers to one another on the basis of safety and liability exposure.
Carriers can use the number to plot and track progress in their safety and compliance programs.
Our reviews are designed to obtain information and provide technical assistance to the carrier, when requested. Our overall rating for this review is set at 8.54 out of a possible 10. This rating is based on the documents and procedures reviewed, compliance requirements in 49 CFR, and interviews conducted during the on-site visit. In the area of safety, your company received a rating of 8.67 . In the area of hazardous materials and environmental compliance, your company received a rating of 8.0 .
