Latest inspection 2026-08-11. “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
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · high impact
Following / lane / reckless 43% · Phone / texting 38% · Speeding 18%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 33 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Cobb County, GA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Cobb County, GA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 55% · Following / lane / reckless 41% · False log / RODS 4%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Projected: could improve up to 22 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 60% · Tires 35% (1 OOS) · Emergency equipment 5%
• 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 30 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
