Recommendations — what's driving each score
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Tires 28% (11 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 26% (4 OOS) · Brakes 23% (5 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 27 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 Berrien County, MI · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Berrien County, MI to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 45% · Speeding 34% · Following / lane / reckless 21%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 26 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
