Exposure at the federal maximum of $16,550 per FMCSA violation. The ratio column divides by $2,388, FileFlo Core at $199/mo. Core covers up to 15 power units, so every row below the top one would sit on a higher tier and its real ratio would be lower. See the price card.

What this number is not

This is not a quote. Core is $199/mo up to 15 power units. Larger fleets are on a higher tier, so the ratios in the table run lower for them. The price card is the authority.

It is not drawn from customer results. It is arithmetic on the five numbers you entered, times the assumptions listed above each line.

The gap rates, the two audits per year, the OOS frequency, and the 5% insurance figure are modeled assumptions. FileFlo does not negotiate insurance and cannot promise a premium reduction.

Penalty figures are published federal maximums, not a prediction of what you would be assessed.

The exposure above is modeled. Your files are not.

Point FileFlo at the folder your driver qualification files already live in. It reads what is there, maps each record to the 49 CFR section it satisfies, and shows you what is missing or about to expire.
