Using our extensive public safety expertise and deep understanding of federal motor carrier safety regulations, state laws, and the truck transportation industry, you'll receive real solutions and experience true results.
Barnes Safety & Consulting, LLC is a recognized leader in motor carrier safety compliance, trusted by carriers across the industry. Our commitment to integrity and excellence is reflected in our A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.
In today's regulatory environment, your motor carrier safety reputation is one of your most valuable business assets. CSA scores, SMS percentiles, and CAB scores are scrutinized by shippers, brokers, insurers, and enforcement agencies alike — and a damaged safety profile can cost you contracts, drive up insurance premiums, and put your operating authority at risk. Protecting and improving that profile requires more than good intentions; it requires expertise, attention to detail, and a proactive strategy.
Barnes Safety & Consulting, LLC specializes in the preparation and submission of FMCSA DataQ challenges, with a focused approach on identifying and disputing violations and crash data that may be inaccurately recorded or negatively impacting your safety profile. Our process goes beyond simply filing a request — we conduct a detailed review of inspection reports, crash reports, and supporting documentation to build a well-supported case for correction or removal. Successful DataQ challenges can directly improve CSA scores, SMS percentiles, and CAB scores, with downstream benefits to your insurance costs and overall compliance standing.
