Latest inspection 2026-09-29 · 28 new since the Sep 2026 run. “Projected” recomputes the SMS formula on today’s record — an estimate, not an official FMCSA figure. 2 post-accident inspection among the new ones — projection may read high and self-corrects at the next run. “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 67% (15 OOS) · Following / lane / reckless 10% (2 OOS) · Other 10% (5 OOS)
• 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 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · medium impact
Following / lane / reckless 34% · Speeding 27% · Phone / texting 20%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 23 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver qualification / CDL / medical violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · low impact
Driver qualification / CDL / medical 100% (9 OOS)
• Run a credential-expiration tracker; keep DQ files complete and the medical card on the driver
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 21 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 59% (71 OOS) · Brakes 12% (10 OOS) · Tires 11% (19 OOS)
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 30 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
