English language 82% (1 OOS) · Driver qualification / CDL / medical 18%
• Assess English proficiency at hire and provide support/training where needed

Drugs / alcohol 100% (1 OOS)
• Reinforce the testing program and zero-tolerance policy
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
