Latest inspection 2026-09-18 · 3 new since the Sep 2026 run. “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
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 68% · Following / lane / reckless 26% · Seat belt 5%
Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily
Set and enforce a governed road speed; review telematics/dashcam speed events weekly
Projected: could improve up to 30 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 71% · Following / lane / reckless 25% · False log / RODS 2%
Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Projected: could improve up to 19 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
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Tires 30% (3 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 28% (3 OOS) · Brakes 22% (3 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 8 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
