Lighting / lamps 48% · Tires 24% · Brakes 14%
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
Projected: could improve up to 31 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
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
