Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Fulton County, GA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Fulton County, GA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Phone / texting violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Phone / texting 48% · Other 20% · Speeding 17%
• Hands-off-the-phone policy with real consequences; provide a mount and a do-not-disturb setup
Projected: could improve up to 10 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 77% (2 OOS) · Log / ELD device 23%
• 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 17 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
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 46% (2 OOS) · Tires 39% (3 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 7%
• 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.
