Recommendations — what's driving each score

• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Other violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Other 35% · Speeding 26% · Seat belt 19%
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 68% · Following / lane / reckless 23% · Other 10%
• Audit ELD edits and duty-status annotations weekly; a false log is a high-severity, high-visibility violation

Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Tires 49% (10 OOS) · Brakes 28% (3 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 14%
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
