Recommendations — what's driving each score
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · high impact
Following / lane / reckless 51% · Speeding 40% · Seat belt 7%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline

Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Lighting / lamps 79% (1 OOS) · Brakes 11% · Tires 7% (1 OOS)
• 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 43 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in New Haven County, CT · medium impact
• Review the inspections from New Haven County, CT 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
Drugs / alcohol violations are the leading contributor to Controlled Substances/Alcohol · low impact
Drugs / alcohol 100% (1 OOS)
• Reinforce the testing program and zero-tolerance policy
