Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 62% · Speeding 30% · Other 8%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 70% · Log / ELD device 30%

• Retrain on correct logging and never letting a load pressure a driver into a false entry
Projected: could improve up to 5 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 41% (10 OOS) · Tires 27% (12 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 18% (4 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
