Latest inspection 2026-08-18. “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 and driver 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
Other violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Other 45% · Seat belt 32% · Following / lane / reckless 23%
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Projected: could improve up to 3 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment

• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
