Recommendations — what's driving each score
Vehicle 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 Franklin County, KY · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Franklin County, KY to spot recurring issues
• 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 49% · Seat belt 33% · Following / lane / reckless 19%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily
• Set and enforce a governed road speed; review telematics/dashcam speed events weekly
Projected: could improve up to 2 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Load securement violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Load securement 58% (21 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 31% (4 OOS) · Inspection / repair / DVIR 4%
• Carry extra straps/chains and know the working-load-limit math; re-check in the first 50 miles
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 44 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
