Latest inspection 2026-10-23 · 2 new since the Oct 2026 run. “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
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
False log / RODS 55% (2 OOS) · Log / ELD device 27% (1 OOS) · Other 14%
• 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 23 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 Brooks County, TX · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Brooks 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 54% · Other 38% · Following / lane / reckless 8%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 22 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Drugs / alcohol violations are the leading contributor to Controlled Substances/Alcohol · low impact
Drugs / alcohol 100% (1 OOS)
• Reinforce the testing program and zero-tolerance policy
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 7 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 39% (4 OOS) · Brakes 29% (5 OOS) · Other 15% (3 OOS)
• 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 34 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
