Latest inspection 2026-09-16 · 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
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Brakes 55% (3 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 17% (1 OOS) · Tires 11% (1 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
• Fix air-loss and warning-light faults before dispatch — don’t “drive it in”
Projected: could improve up to 44 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 48% (1 OOS) · Following / lane / reckless 37% · Log / ELD device 15%
• 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 26 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Carbon County, UT · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Carbon County, UT 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 70% · Following / lane / reckless 30%
• 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 27 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
