Recommendations — what's driving each score
Vehicle out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact

• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
A high share of violations are occurring in Richland County, SC · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Richland County, SC to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 39% · Phone / texting 22% · Speeding 21%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 18 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
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
