Latest inspection 2026-07-06. “Projected” recomputes the SMS formula on today’s record — an estimate, not an official FMCSA figure. “Est. %ile” is a VioCodes estimate of how the carrier ranks against its peers (FMCSA marks the percentile itself “Not Public”), shown as a likely range.
Recommendations — what's driving each score
Vehicle out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact
• Review recent inspections with out-of-service violations and fix the root causes with equipment and drivers
• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Brakes 52% (6 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 22% (2 OOS) · Tires 13% (3 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
• Fix air-loss and warning-light faults before dispatch — don’t “drive it in”
Projected: could improve up to 44 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Lane County, OR · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Lane County, OR to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Phone / texting violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Phone / texting 67% · Following / lane / reckless 20% · Speeding 13%
• Hands-off-the-phone policy with real consequences; provide a mount and a do-not-disturb setup
Projected: could improve up to 1 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Other violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Other 80% (1 OOS) · Log / ELD device 20%
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 12 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
