Latest inspection 2026-07-08. “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
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
False log / RODS 84% (2 OOS) · Log / ELD device 16%
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 25 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Lighting / lamps 26% (3 OOS) · Brakes 25% (2 OOS) · Load securement 21% (8 OOS)
Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 28 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
A high share of violations are occurring in Merced County, CA · medium impact
Review the inspections from Merced County, CA 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
Generated from the public inspection record. Percentiles/projections are VioCodes estimates, not official FMCSA figures.
90-day safety improvement plan
Last 90 days: 1 inspections, 4 violations, 0 OOS, 0 clean · trending worse.

393.55E-B, 393.11B-CSLRR, 393.11A1-CSURR
Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip
Fix air-loss and warning-light faults before dispatch; put brakes on the PM schedule
5 clean inspections would cut this BASIC ~25% (to 5.678).
