• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Phone / texting violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Phone / texting 100%
• Hands-off-the-phone policy with real consequences; provide a mount and a do-not-disturb setup
Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact

• Look under the truck for shifted axles and broken/leaking suspension; include in scheduled maintenance
