Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Lycoming County, PA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Lycoming County, PA 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 78% · Log / ELD device 22%
• 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 21 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
Inspection / repair / DVIR violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Inspection / repair / DVIR 36% · Brakes 19% · Tires 15% (5 OOS)
• Do — and document — a real pre-trip and post-trip DVIR
• Keep the annual inspection current and records in the truck
Projected: could improve up to 10 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
