Latest inspection 2026-09-24 · 3 new since the Sep 2026 run. “Projected” recomputes the SMS formula on today’s record — an estimate, not an official FMCSA figure. 1 post-accident inspection among the new ones — projection may read high and self-corrects at the next run. “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

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact

False log / RODS 57% (1 OOS) · Following / lane / reckless 26% · Hours exceeded 17% (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 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

Vehicle 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 Palo Pinto County, TX · medium impact

• Review the inspections from Palo Pinto County, TX to spot recurring issues

• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical

Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact

Seat belt 33% · Phone / texting 24% · Speeding 24%

• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks

Projected: could improve up to 19 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 58% (4 OOS) · Brakes 24% (1 OOS) · Emergency equipment 8%

• 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 48 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
