Recommendations — what's driving each score
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 59% · Following / lane / reckless 34% · Other 6%
• 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 3 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 42% · Following / lane / reckless 29% · False log / RODS 28%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Projected: could improve up to 16 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver qualification / CDL / medical violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · low impact
Driver qualification / CDL / medical 100% (2 OOS)
• Run a credential-expiration tracker; keep DQ files complete and the medical card on the driver
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 21 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 35% (19 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 23% (10 OOS) · Brakes 22% (12 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 6 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
