Per-carrier citations

Every carrier page includes a Cite this analysis block at the bottom with the carrier's specific citation pre-filled in all four formats (APA / Chicago / Bluebook / BibTeX). A copy-to-clipboard button is provided for each.

The pre-filled citations interpolate the carrier's legal name (Title Case), USDOT number, page URL, and the current year. The retrieval date is left as a placeholder ("[date]") per standard convention — fill it in when you cite.

Example carrier page (J B Hunt): /trucking-accidents/j-b-hunt-transport-inc-usdot-80806.

Citing methodology

When the citation is to the SafeNY methodology itself (rather than a specific carrier analysis), point to /methodology:

What counts as a SafeNY analysis

A SafeNY analysis is a per-carrier safety profile derived from public FMCSA records via the published methodology. Each carrier page is dated by the underlying snapshot timestamp; the audit log on /methodology#sources records the FMCSA ingest dates for the snapshot rendered.

SafeNY analyses are decision support, not adjudication: the SafeNY Risk Score (SNRS) is a composite indicator, not a regulatory finding, and the Statistical Settlement Range (SSR) is a comparable-case distribution estimate, not a verdict prediction. Statutory citations (49 CFR § 387, § 392.14, § 395) are provided for context.

Not legal advice. SafeNY is not a law firm; consult counsel admitted in the relevant jurisdiction. Admissibility in any specific proceeding is a court determination — these citation formats are conventions, not warranties of admissibility.
