Latest inspection 2026-09-08. “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 30% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 24% · Brakes 18% (1 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 25 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
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
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 68% · Following / lane / reckless 32%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 9 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
Generated from the public inspection record. Percentiles/projections are VioCodes estimates, not official FMCSA figures.
90-day safety improvement plan
Last 90 days: 3 inspections, 2 violations, 1 OOS, 2 clean · improving.
1. Vehicle Maintenance2 viol · 1 OOS · 100%
393.134B-CRHLC, 393.9A-HLLH
✓ Carry extra straps/chains and know the working-load-limit math
✓ Re-check securement in the first 50 miles and at every stop
≈ 2 clean inspections would cut this BASIC ~25% (to 7.125).
