Latest inspection 2026-06-07. “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 81% · Following / lane / reckless 19%
• 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 3 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
Suspension / axle violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Suspension / axle 31% · Lighting / lamps 27% · Brakes 18%
• Look under the truck for shifted axles and broken/leaking suspension; include in scheduled maintenance
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 7 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
