Latest inspection 2026-08-22. “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 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
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · medium impact
Speeding 70% · Following / lane / reckless 15% · Phone / texting 10%
• 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 32 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · medium impact
False log / RODS 77% (2 OOS) · Log / ELD device 15% · Following / lane / reckless 9% (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 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Aiken County, SC · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Aiken County, SC to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
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 31% (5 OOS) · Brakes 23% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 21% (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 29 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
