Recommendations — what's driving each score
Other violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · medium impact
Other 67% · False log / RODS 33% (1 OOS)
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 25 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Merced County, CA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Merced County, CA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 87% · Following / lane / reckless 13%
• 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 17 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Drugs / alcohol violations are the leading contributor to Controlled Substances/Alcohol · low impact
Drugs / alcohol 100% (1 OOS)
• Reinforce the testing program and zero-tolerance policy
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight

Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 30% (4 OOS) · Load securement 23% (2 OOS) · Tires 16% (2 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
