Recommendations — what's driving each score
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 79% · Speeding 21%

Projected: could improve up to 18 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

Log / ELD device 100%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 42% (1 OOS) · Brakes 26% (4 OOS) · Load securement 16% (1 OOS)
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 6 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
