Recommendations — what's driving each score
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · medium impact
Following / lane / reckless 62% · Speeding 38%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 39 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Whitfield County, GA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Whitfield County, GA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 74% · Log / ELD device 26%
• 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 19 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
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 32% (1 OOS) · Tires 20% (5 OOS) · Other 19% (3 OOS)
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 24 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
