• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
A high share of violations are occurring in Walker County, TX · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Walker County, TX to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Unsafe Driving needs attention · low impact

Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
