Latest inspection 2026-09-10. “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
A high share of violations are occurring in NY · medium impact
• Review the inspections from NY to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
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 12 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Tires 41% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 22% · Load securement 20% (1 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 10 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

90-day safety improvement plan
Last 90 days: 4 inspections, 4 violations, 1 OOS, 3 clean · trending worse.
1. Vehicle Maintenance4 viol · 1 OOS · 100%
393.110B3-C, 393.9A-LIL, 393.9A-LCL
✓ Carry extra straps/chains and know the working-load-limit math
✓ Re-check securement in the first 50 miles and at every stop
≈ 4 clean inspections would cut this BASIC ~25% (to 1.358).
