Latest inspection 2026-10-15 · 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 · medium impact
False log / RODS 60% · Log / ELD device 38% · Other 2%
• 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 31 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 37% · Phone / texting 26% · Seat belt 18%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 28 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 45% (4 OOS) · Brakes 26% (3 OOS) · Inspection / repair / DVIR 9%
• 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.
