Latest inspection 2026-10-22 · 3 new since the Oct 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
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
False log / RODS 71% · Following / lane / reckless 15% · Other 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 27 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Brakes 29% (10 OOS) · Tires 23% (12 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 19% (5 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 29 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
Driver qualification / CDL / medical violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · medium impact
Driver qualification / CDL / medical 100% (4 OOS)
• Run a credential-expiration tracker; keep DQ files complete and the medical card on the driver
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 36 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in UT · medium impact
• Review the inspections from UT to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 64% · Speeding 26% · Following / lane / reckless 10%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 13 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
