Latest inspection 2026-10-05. “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
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Tires 39% (7 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 19% (1 OOS) · Brakes 13% (3 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 33 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 Wayne County, MI · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Wayne County, MI 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 39% · Following / lane / reckless 25% · Phone / texting 18%
• 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 26 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
