Latest inspection 2026-09-02. “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

Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · high impact

Speeding 62% · Following / lane / reckless 25% · Other 12%

• 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 23 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact

False log / RODS 74% (1 OOS) · Log / ELD device 14% (1 OOS) · Hours exceeded 12%

• 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 27 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact

Brakes 56% (7 OOS) · Tires 19% (3 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 12%

• 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 46 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

A high share of violations are occurring in Meade County, SD · medium impact

• Review the inspections from Meade County, SD 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
