KENTUCKY....
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Hester Inc., the Alabama trucking company involved in a fatal crash that killed 11 people was given a poor safety rating of 88.4 in February. The agency uses a scale of 1 to 100, with 100 being the worst score and any score of 75 or more being considered "deficient." The rating is based on roadside inspections and moving violations.
