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
Hours exceeded violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · medium impact
Hours exceeded 52% · Other 26% · Log / ELD device 22%
• Plan loads around available hours; use ELD alerts before drivers run out of clock
Projected: could improve up to 25 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Medina County, TX · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Medina County, TX to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
