Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
Log / ELD device 43% · False log / RODS 32% (1 OOS) · Following / lane / reckless 18%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily

Following / lane / reckless 71% · Other 24% · Lighting / lamps 5%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
