Latest inspection 2026-06-29. “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
Hours exceeded violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
Hours exceeded 35% · Other 18% · Following / lane / reckless 18%
• Plan loads around available hours; use ELD alerts before drivers run out of clock
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 16 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Ellis County, TX · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Ellis County, TX to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 40% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 32% (1 OOS) · Other 8%
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
• Fix air-loss and warning-light faults before dispatch — don’t “drive it in”
Projected: could improve up to 22 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
