Latest inspection 2026-10-06 · 7 new since the Sep 2026 run. “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
Driver qualification / CDL / medical violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · high impact
Driver qualification / CDL / medical 51% (4 OOS) · English language 49% (4 OOS)
• Run a credential-expiration tracker; keep DQ files complete and the medical card on the driver
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 32 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
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
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Lighting / lamps 39% (5 OOS) · Brakes 24% (1 OOS) · Tires 19% (4 OOS)
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 36 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Val Verde County, TX · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Val Verde County, TX to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 89% · Following / lane / reckless 8% · Lighting / lamps 3%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily
• Set and enforce a governed road speed; review telematics/dashcam speed events weekly
Projected: could improve up to 9 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 92% (5 OOS) · Log / ELD device 7% · Other 1%
• Audit ELD edits and duty-status annotations weekly; a false log is a high-severity, high-visibility violation
• Retrain on correct logging and never letting a load pressure a driver into a false entry
Projected: could improve up to 25 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
