Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Orange County, NY · medium impact

• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 45% · Phone / texting 29% · Speeding 21%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 84% · Log / ELD device 16%

Projected: could improve up to 18 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
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 39% (5 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 18% (1 OOS) · Tires 18% (1 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
