Latest inspection 2026-09-11. “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
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 MI · medium impact
• Review the inspections from MI to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Phone / texting violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Phone / texting 32% · Following / lane / reckless 27% · Seat belt 22%
• Hands-off-the-phone policy with real consequences; provide a mount and a do-not-disturb setup
Projected: could improve up to 15 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
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 70% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 20% · Brakes 6%
• 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 29 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
