Latest inspection 2026-09-12. “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
Vehicle out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact
• Review recent inspections with out-of-service violations and fix the root causes with equipment and drivers
• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · medium impact
False log / RODS 88% · Log / ELD device 12%
• 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 27 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Brakes 50% (5 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 29% (1 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 46 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
