Recommendations — what's driving each score
Vehicle out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact
• Review recent inspections with out-of-service violations and fix the root causes with equipment and drivers
• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Lighting / lamps 58% (1 OOS) · Tires 14% (1 OOS) · Brakes 14% (1 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 43 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Victoria County, TX · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Victoria County, TX to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
