Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Steele County, MN · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Steele County, MN to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 47% · Speeding 20% · Following / lane / reckless 14%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 17 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 53% (1 OOS) · Following / lane / reckless 37% · Log / ELD device 11%
• Audit ELD edits and duty-status annotations weekly; a false log is a high-severity, high-visibility violation
• Retrain on correct logging and never letting a load pressure a driver into a false entry
Projected: could improve up to 10 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Other violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Other 60% (1 OOS) · Suspension / axle 14% (1 OOS) · Brakes 12%
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
