Latest inspection 2026-09-10. “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 75% · Other 19% · Following / lane / reckless 6%
• Hands-off-the-phone policy with real consequences; provide a mount and a do-not-disturb setup
Projected: could improve up to 29 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Pierce County, WA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Pierce County, WA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
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

• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
