Latest inspection 2025-07-25. “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 · high impact

Following / lane / reckless 51% · Speeding 49%

• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline

Projected: could improve up to 32 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 67% (7 OOS) · Other 24% (3 OOS) · Log / ELD device 8%

• 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 17 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

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

Tires 44% (7 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 24% (2 OOS) · Brakes 15% (3 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 30 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

Vehicle and 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

Drugs / alcohol violations are the leading contributor to Controlled Substances/Alcohol · low impact

Drugs / alcohol 100% (1 OOS)

• Reinforce the testing program and zero-tolerance policy

• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight

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