Latest inspection 2026-09-08. “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
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 40% · Speeding 27% · Following / lane / reckless 23%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 3 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Drugs / alcohol violations are the leading contributor to Controlled Substances/Alcohol · low impact
Drugs / alcohol 100% (1 OOS)
• Reinforce the testing program and zero-tolerance policy
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 5 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Tires 51% (4 OOS) · Brakes 26% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 11% (1 OOS)
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
Projected: could improve up to 27 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
