Latest inspection 2026-08-24. “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 · medium impact
Speeding 79% · Following / lane / reckless 13% · Seat belt 5%
• 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 39 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in New Castle County, DE · medium impact
• Review the inspections from New Castle County, DE to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Hours exceeded violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Hours exceeded 64% · Log / ELD device 27% · False log / RODS 9%
• Plan loads around available hours; use ELD alerts before drivers run out of clock
Projected: could improve up to 12 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 32% (1 OOS) · Tires 30% (2 OOS) · Brakes 24%
• 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 8 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
