• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 69% · Other 19% · Following / lane / reckless 12%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily

Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 47% · Following / lane / reckless 44% · False log / RODS 9%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily

Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 36% (4 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 23% (1 OOS) · Tires 17% (5 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
