Recommendations — what's driving each score
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · medium impact
Speeding 91% · Following / lane / reckless 9%
• 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.
A high share of violations are occurring in Worcester County, MA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Worcester County, MA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
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
• 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 48% · Inspection / repair / DVIR 15% · Tires 15%
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
Projected: could improve up to 15 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
