Latest inspection 2026-09-09. “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
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
Log / ELD device 39% (1 OOS) · Following / lane / reckless 39% · False log / RODS 22% (1 OOS)
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 31 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
English language violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · medium impact
English language 64% (2 OOS) · Driver qualification / CDL / medical 36% (3 OOS)
• Assess English proficiency at hire and provide support/training where needed
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 35 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Imperial County, CA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Imperial County, CA 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 69% · Following / lane / reckless 28% · Other 3%
• 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 31 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
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 47% (5 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 17% · Suspension / axle 12% (4 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 30 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
