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
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 60% · Following / lane / reckless 21% · Other 11%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 16 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
