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
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · medium impact
Speeding 54% · Other 19% · Following / lane / reckless 14%
• 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 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · medium impact
False log / RODS 82% · Log / ELD device 9% · Following / lane / reckless 9%
• 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 27 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Box Elder County, UT · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Box Elder County, UT to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
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 45% (2 OOS) · Tires 16% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 13%
• 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 30 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
