Latest inspection 2026-10-07. “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
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
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · medium impact
Log / ELD device 45% · False log / RODS 31% · Following / lane / reckless 24%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Projected: could improve up to 25 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 44% · Seat belt 31% · Phone / texting 22%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 1 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
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 33% (1 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 30% (1 OOS) · Tires 19% (5 OOS)
• 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 35 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
