Recommendations — what's driving each score

Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact

Speeding 44% · Following / lane / reckless 34% · Seat belt 13%

• 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 8 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 41% · Log / ELD device 38% · Following / lane / reckless 16%

• 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 13 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

Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact

Tires 56% (32 OOS) · Brakes 20% (9 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 11% (2 OOS)

• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals

• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately

Projected: could improve up to 32 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
