Latest inspection 2026-10-20 · 2 new since the Oct 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 100% (3 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 30 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · medium impact

False log / RODS 67% (2 OOS) · Log / ELD device 17% · Hours exceeded 11%

• 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 31 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

A high share of violations are occurring in TN · medium impact

• Review the inspections from TN to spot recurring issues

• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical

Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact

Following / lane / reckless 59% · Speeding 41%

• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline

Projected: could improve up to 10 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

Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact

Tires 55% (2 OOS) · Inspection / repair / DVIR 16% · Emergency equipment 14%

• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals

• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately

Projected: could improve up to 5 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
