Next monthly SMS run — projection

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unsafe Driving | 6.77 | 6.77 | ≈64–71% (near 65) | steady |

Latest inspection 2026-08-20. “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 75% · Following / lane / reckless 17% · Log / ELD device 9%
• 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 25 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Tires 77% (1 OOS) · Brakes 10% · Inspection / repair / DVIR 6%
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
Projected: could improve up to 44 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Vehicle 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
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · medium impact
Speeding 61% · Seat belt 20% · Following / lane / reckless 19%
• 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 33 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Lincoln County, CO · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Lincoln County, CO to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
