Recommendations — what's driving each score
Phone / texting violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Phone / texting 100%
• Hands-off-the-phone policy with real consequences; provide a mount and a do-not-disturb setup
Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Drugs / alcohol violations are the leading contributor to Controlled Substances/Alcohol · low impact
Drugs / alcohol 100% (1 OOS)
• Reinforce the testing program and zero-tolerance policy
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 14 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 51% (1 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 26% · Other 23%
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
• Fix air-loss and warning-light faults before dispatch — don’t “drive it in”
Projected: could improve up to 8 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
