Latest inspection 2026-05-18. “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
A high share of violations are occurring in NJ · medium impact
• Review the inspections from NJ to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 83% · Other 17%
• 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 14 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Emergency equipment violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Emergency equipment 48% · Inspection / repair / DVIR 32% · Load securement 12% (1 OOS)
• Verify the extinguisher gauge is in the green and secured; keep a full set of warning triangles
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 3 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
