Recommendations — what's driving each score
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
False log / RODS 61% · Log / ELD device 21% · Following / lane / reckless 18%
• 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 33 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Vehicle 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
A high share of violations are occurring in Lake County, IN · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Lake County, IN 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 41% · Speeding 32% · Phone / texting 19%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 5 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
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 28% (4 OOS) · Tires 27% (8 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 19% (2 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
• Fix air-loss and warning-light faults before dispatch — don’t “drive it in”
Projected: could improve up to 29 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
