Recommendations — what's driving each score
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Lighting / lamps 50% (3 OOS) · Tires 27% (4 OOS) · Brakes 20% (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 48 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
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
A high share of violations are occurring in Sequoyah County, OK · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Sequoyah County, OK to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 60% · Speeding 40%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 16 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
