Recommendations — what's driving each score
English language violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · high impact
English language 79% · Driver qualification / CDL / medical 21% (1 OOS)
• Assess English proficiency at hire and provide support/training where needed
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 17 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Brakes 37% (2 OOS) · Tires 26% (5 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 23% (1 OOS)
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
• Fix air-loss and warning-light faults before dispatch — don’t “drive it in”
Projected: could improve up to 15 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Vehicle and driver out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact
