Recommendations — what's driving each score
Vehicle and driver out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact
• Review recent inspections with out-of-service violations and fix the root causes with equipment and drivers
• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
Phone / texting violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Phone / texting 56% (8 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 17% · Load securement 11% (3 OOS)
• Hands-off-the-phone policy with real consequences; provide a mount and a do-not-disturb setup
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 41 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Sacramento County, CA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Sacramento County, CA 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 55% · Seat belt 45%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 26 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
