When assessing a carrier's safety performance, which of these is NOT typically a factor?

When evaluating a carrier's safety performance, the focus is primarily on objective data that directly impacts the safety and operational efficiency of the carrier. Factors such as vehicle maintenance history, accident records, and roadside inspection data provide concrete evidence of a carrier's safety standards and practices. These are critical components in assessing how well a carrier maintains its fleet and adheres to safety regulations.

In contrast, a driver's social media activity does not have a direct link to the operational safety performance of a trucking carrier. While it can offer insights into a driver's behavior and attitudes, it is not a measure of their driving skills, the vehicle’s condition, or compliance with safety regulations. Therefore, it is not a standard factor considered when assessing a carrier's overall safety performance.
