Recommendations — what's driving each score
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · high impact
Following / lane / reckless 33% · Speeding 30% · Other 16%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 14 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
False log / RODS 48% (1 OOS) · Log / ELD device 47% (2 OOS) · Hours exceeded 5%
• 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 32 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Tires 39% (9 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 34% (12 OOS) · Brakes 11% (2 OOS)
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
Projected: could improve up to 45 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 Monroe County, MI · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Monroe County, MI to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
