Latest inspection 2026-10-09. “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
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Tires 55% (13 OOS) · Brakes 22% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 9% (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 46 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in MN · medium impact
• Review the inspections from MN 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 43% · Seat belt 31% · Following / lane / reckless 22%
• 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 14 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Hours exceeded violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Hours exceeded 82% · Log / ELD device 18%
• Plan loads around available hours; use ELD alerts before drivers run out of clock
Projected: could improve up to 18 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
