Recommendations — what's driving each score
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 38% · Following / lane / reckless 31% · Seat belt 17%
• 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 29 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 57% · Log / ELD device 43%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 9 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 violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 43% (22 OOS) · Tires 25% (14 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 16% (4 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 9 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
