Latest inspection 2026-09-30. “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
Phone / texting violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · high impact
Phone / texting 42% · Speeding 29% · Following / lane / reckless 17%
• Hands-off-the-phone policy with real consequences; provide a mount and a do-not-disturb setup
Projected: could improve up to 35 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
False log / RODS 57% (4 OOS) · Log / ELD device 21% · Following / lane / reckless 13%
• 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 24 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
English language violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · high impact
English language 100% (19 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 9 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver 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
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Brakes 58% (5 OOS) · Tires 21% (5 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 11% (1 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 48 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Montezuma County, CO · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Montezuma County, CO to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
