Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Johnson County, IN · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Johnson County, IN to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 88% · False log / RODS 6% · Hours exceeded 6%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Projected: could improve up to 6 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
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 49% · Brakes 34% (1 OOS) · Tires 8% (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 4 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
