Recommendations — what's driving each score
Driver qualification / CDL / medical violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · high impact
Driver qualification / CDL / medical 100% (6 OOS)
• Run a credential-expiration tracker; keep DQ files complete and the medical card on the driver
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 18 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Lighting / lamps 34% (5 OOS) · Brakes 25% (7 OOS) · Tires 18% (1 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
