Latest inspection 2026-06-12. “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
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 58% · Following / lane / reckless 24% · Seat belt 11%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily
• Set and enforce a governed road speed; review telematics/dashcam speed events weekly
Projected: could improve up to 31 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 100%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Projected: could improve up to 13 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
