Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 36% · Seat belt 25% · Phone / texting 24%

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 68% (2 OOS) · Other 32%

Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact

Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 43% (2 OOS) · Other 18% (1 OOS) · Brakes 14% (4 OOS)
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
