Latest inspection 2026-10-04 · 4 new since the Sep 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
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
Following / lane / reckless 61% · False log / RODS 30% · Log / ELD device 9%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 31 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Roberts County, SD · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Roberts County, SD to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 42% (3 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 31% (3 OOS) · Tires 15% (3 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
• Fix air-loss and warning-light faults before dispatch — don’t “drive it in”
Projected: could improve up to 33 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
