Latest inspection 2026-10-13. “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.

Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact

• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule

Projected: could improve up to 8 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
