Other violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Other 41% (2 OOS) · False log / RODS 24% · Hours exceeded 16% (1 OOS)
• 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
Projected: could improve up to 16 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 42% (35 OOS) · Brakes 29% (6 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 13% (7 OOS)
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
