Latest inspection 2026-09-17 · 1 new since the Sep 2026 run. “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
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Lighting / lamps 31% (2 OOS) · Tires 27% (4 OOS) · Brakes 24% (1 OOS)
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
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
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

90-day safety improvement plan
Last 90 days: 1 inspections, 7 violations, 1 OOS, 0 clean · holding steady.
1. Vehicle Maintenance7 viol · 1 OOS · 100%
393.207B-AALPME, 396.3A1-BALR, 396.3A1-BALAC
✓ Tighten pre-trip/post-trip DVIR discipline and the PM schedule
✓ Fix defects before dispatch — don’t “drive it in”
≈ 2 clean inspections would cut this BASIC ~25% (to 7.778).
