Latest inspection 2026-09-25 · 16 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
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · high impact
Speeding 45% · Following / lane / reckless 29% · Seat belt 12%
• 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 41 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in TN · medium impact
• Review the inspections from TN to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 45% · Log / ELD device 40% · Other 10% (1 OOS)
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 30 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver qualification / CDL / medical violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · low impact
Driver qualification / CDL / medical 100% (6 OOS)
• Run a credential-expiration tracker; keep DQ files complete and the medical card on the driver
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 38 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Drugs / alcohol violations are the leading contributor to Controlled Substances/Alcohol · low impact
Drugs / alcohol 100% (2 OOS)
• Reinforce the testing program and zero-tolerance policy
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Tires 49% (91 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 22% (25 OOS) · Brakes 17% (15 OOS)
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
Projected: could improve up to 41 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
