Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in NE · medium impact
• Review the inspections from NE 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
