Recommendations — what's driving each score
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
False log / RODS 73% (1 OOS) · Following / lane / reckless 27% (1 OOS)
• 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 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
English language violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · high impact
English language 95% (3 OOS) · Driver qualification / CDL / medical 5%
• Assess English proficiency at hire and provide support/training where needed
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 33 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver 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 Kern County, CA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Kern County, CA 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 100%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 21 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Generated from the public inspection record. Percentiles/projections are VioCodes estimates, not official FMCSA figures.
