    VioCodes on Telegram — vet a carrier or broker from your phone

    There's now an official VioCodes Telegram bot, @VioCodesBot. Send it an MC, USDOT, company name, or violation code and it replies in seconds: operating authority and insurance, a risk verdict with the reasons, CSA percentile alerts, and — for brokers — payment signals (bond & filed-cancellation status). It also explains any violation code (and what “Not in SMS” means), and can send the full printable PDF vetting report right in the chat. Free, no login, built on the same public FMCSA data as the site — the full toolkit (trends, projections, inspection map, My Fleet watchlist) still lives here on the website.

Why I built VioCodes

We all know the pain of digging through SMS Appendix A every time you need a code, its severity weight, or BASIC. And officers sometimes write codes that aren't even in there.

You're not always at a desk — you're at the yard, in the cab, on the road, or talking to a driver right after an inspection. Pull out your phone, type the code, get the answer.

Hit a code that's missing? Submit it for review and it gets added to the live list — so the rest of us can find it next time.

What started as my own shortcut is now used by thousands of safety managers, dispatchers, and drivers — across the country and a few countries beyond. It's stayed free the whole way, and it's even turned into real friendships along the road. That's what keeps me building.
