Recommendations — what's driving each score
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
False log / RODS 42% · Other 26% · Log / ELD device 21%
• Audit ELD edits and duty-status annotations weekly; a false log is a high-severity, high-visibility violation
• Retrain on correct logging and never letting a load pressure a driver into a false entry
Projected: could improve up to 25 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
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Tires 58% (9 OOS) · Brakes 20% (5 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 13% (4 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 46 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 61% · Other 14% · Speeding 13%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 22 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
