Latest inspection 2026-07-29. “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 IA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from IA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 68% · Phone / texting 18% · Following / lane / reckless 9%
• 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 9 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 46% (1 OOS) · False log / RODS 41% · Log / ELD device 13%
• 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 22 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
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 40% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 27% (3 OOS) · Tires 25% (4 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 16 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
