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
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · high impact
Speeding 45% · Following / lane / reckless 37% · Seat belt 14%
• 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 7 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 61% (1 OOS) · Log / ELD device 39% (1 OOS)
• 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 30 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Lighting / lamps 65% (1 OOS) · Brakes 19% · Inspection / repair / DVIR 11%
• 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 50 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
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 Washington County, MD · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Washington County, MD to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
