• Review the inspections from Maricopa County, AZ to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Other violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Other 56% · Phone / texting 44%
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 95% (1 OOS) · Log / ELD device 5%

Brakes 55% (4 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 14% (1 OOS) · Wheels / rims 11% (2 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
