Latest inspection 2026-09-29. “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

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

False log / RODS 82% (5 OOS) · Other 7% · Following / lane / reckless 7% (1 OOS)

• 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 24 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

A high share of violations are occurring in Merced County, CA · medium impact

• Review the inspections from Merced County, CA 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 72% · Other 17% · Seat belt 12%

• 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 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

Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact

Lighting / lamps 50% (1 OOS) · Brakes 26% (3 OOS) · Tires 12% (1 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 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
