Latest inspection 2026-10-08. “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 62% · Seat belt 21% · Other 7%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 9 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 45% (3 OOS) · Following / lane / reckless 26% (2 OOS) · Hours exceeded 15%
• 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 18 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Lighting / lamps 18% · Brakes 17% (1 OOS) · Other 15% (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 18 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
A high share of violations are occurring in CT · medium impact
• Review the inspections from CT to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Driver qualification / CDL / medical violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · low impact
Driver qualification / CDL / medical 100% (5 OOS)
• Run a credential-expiration tracker; keep DQ files complete and the medical card on the driver
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 34 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
