Latest inspection 2026-09-08. “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
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Lighting / lamps 47% (9 OOS) · Tires 21% (5 OOS) · Brakes 13% (1 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 40 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Vehicle 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 Alameda County, CA · medium impact
Review the inspections from Alameda County, CA to spot recurring issues
Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Unsafe Driving needs attention · low impact
Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 100%
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
Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact
Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
