Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in PA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from PA 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 65% · Seat belt 20% · Following / lane / reckless 15%
• 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 23 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Driver qualification / CDL / medical violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · low impact
Driver qualification / CDL / medical 100% (1 OOS)
• Run a credential-expiration tracker; keep DQ files complete and the medical card on the driver
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Load securement violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Load securement 29% (3 OOS) · Brakes 26% · Tires 22% (2 OOS)
• Carry extra straps/chains and know the working-load-limit math; re-check in the first 50 miles
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 12 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
