Latest inspection 2026-09-23 · 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
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 92% (1 OOS) · False log / RODS 8%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 18 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
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
