Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · high impact
Following / lane / reckless 77% · Seat belt 23%

Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
Log / ELD device 86% (4 OOS) · False log / RODS 14% (1 OOS)
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver qualification / CDL / medical violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · high impact
Driver qualification / CDL / medical 84% (3 OOS) · English language 16% (1 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

Vehicle and driver out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact

• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
A high share of violations are occurring in Black Hawk County, IA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Black Hawk County, IA to spot recurring issues
