Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in MT · medium impact
• Review the inspections from MT to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 55% · Speeding 32% · Following / lane / reckless 13%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 1 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 54% · False log / RODS 44% · Log / ELD device 2%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 21 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 34% (8 OOS) · Tires 22% (10 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 18% (3 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
• Fix air-loss and warning-light faults before dispatch — don’t “drive it in”
Projected: could improve up to 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
