Latest inspection 2026-08-11. “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
Load securement violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Load securement 44% (6 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 23% · Tires 19% (2 OOS)
• Carry extra straps/chains and know the working-load-limit math; re-check in the first 50 miles
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 38 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
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
A high share of violations are occurring in Jasper County, IA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Jasper County, IA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Other violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Other 79% · Speeding 21%
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Projected: could improve up to 1 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 100%
• 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 20 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
