Next monthly SMS run — projection

BASIC	Official (Sep 2026)	Projected	Est. %ile	Trend

Hours-of-Service Compliance	0.29	0.29	≈52–59%	steady

Latest inspection 2026-07-16. “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

Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact

Following / lane / reckless 45% · Speeding 32% · Seat belt 12%

• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline

Projected: could improve up to 6 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact

False log / RODS 75% (3 OOS) · Other 15% (1 OOS) · Log / ELD device 10%

• 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.

English language violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · low impact

English language 65% (5 OOS) · Driver qualification / CDL / medical 35% (1 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 38 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

Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact

Tires 34% (9 OOS) · Brakes 32% (3 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 13% (1 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 23 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
