Commercial vehicle incidents carry the highest built-in scoring bonus of any tracked category — because they're worth more to your practice, and to your content pipeline.
Truck and commercial vehicle crashes get real weight in the scoring engine, not just editorial attention. A confirmed truck incident (incident_type: truck) picks up a +20 type bonus, and if the commercial-vehicle flag is also set on the incident, that's another +30 — up to 50 bonus points before fatality or injury signals are even factored in.
That reflects reality: a single-vehicle fender-bender and a loaded semi jackknifing on the interstate are not the same case, and they shouldn't produce the same content. The system's default threshold (60 points) means most confirmed commercial-vehicle incidents clear the bar for generation on their own.
type_truck: +20 points. commercial_vehicle: +30 points (can stack with the truck type bonus). Add a fatality (+50) or DUI allegation (+35) and a single incident can easily clear 100+ points.
