Latest inspection 2026-09-23 · 1 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
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
False log / RODS 73% (8 OOS) · Log / ELD device 14% · Following / lane / reckless 8% (1 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 16 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Inspection / repair / DVIR violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Inspection / repair / DVIR 25% · Tires 23% (3 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 16% (2 OOS)
• Do — and document — a real pre-trip and post-trip DVIR
• Keep the annual inspection current and records in the truck
Projected: could improve up to 16 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Vehicle and driver 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 · medium impact
Seat belt 39% · Following / lane / reckless 28% · Speeding 28%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 17 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Mohave County, AZ · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Mohave County, AZ to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
