Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Gillespie County, TX · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Gillespie County, TX to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 44% (1 OOS) · Brakes 25% (1 OOS) · Inspection / repair / DVIR 22%
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 27 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
