Recommendations — what's driving each score
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
Phone / texting violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Phone / texting 29% · Speeding 26% · Following / lane / reckless 24%
• Hands-off-the-phone policy with real consequences; provide a mount and a do-not-disturb setup
Projected: could improve up to 6 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Other violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Other 34% (1 OOS) · Log / ELD device 25% · Following / lane / reckless 20%
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
