Latest inspection 2026-07-30. “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.

Following / lane / reckless 52% (1 OOS) · False log / RODS 32% (2 OOS) · Hours exceeded 9%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 25 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 Washington County, RI · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Washington County, RI to spot recurring issues
