• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
A high share of violations are occurring in Knox County, TN · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Knox County, TN to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
