Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in VA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from VA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 88% · Seat belt 12%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily
• Set and enforce a governed road speed; review telematics/dashcam speed events weekly
Projected: could improve up to 12 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 100%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Other violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Other 32% · Lighting / lamps 21% · Brakes 21%
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Projected: could improve up to 13 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
