Recommendations — what's driving each score
English language violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · high impact
English language 93% · Driver qualification / CDL / medical 7% (1 OOS)
• 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 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Lighting / lamps 38% (7 OOS) · Brakes 34% (12 OOS) · Tires 10% (5 OOS)
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 8 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Vehicle out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact

• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
