Latest inspection 2026-09-24. “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 34% (4 OOS) · Tires 30% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 13% (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 36 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
A high share of violations are occurring in Pierce County, WA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Pierce County, WA 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 38% · Seat belt 32% · Phone / texting 30%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 14 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
