Recommendations — what's driving each score
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
False log / RODS 100% (5 OOS)
• Audit ELD edits and duty-status annotations weekly; a false log is a high-severity, high-visibility violation
• Retrain on correct logging and never letting a load pressure a driver into a false entry
Projected: could improve up to 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver 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 Elko County, NV · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Elko County, NV to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 83% · Speeding 17%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 21 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Inspection / repair / DVIR violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Inspection / repair / DVIR 40% · Brakes 23% (2 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 12% (1 OOS)
• Do — and document — a real pre-trip and post-trip DVIR
• Keep the annual inspection current and records in the truck
Projected: could improve up to 12 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
