Lighting / lamps 33% (9 OOS) · Tires 20% (7 OOS) · Load securement 17% (6 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
Projected: could improve up to 11 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Vehicle 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 Pulaski County, AR · medium impact

Following / lane / reckless 41% · Speeding 28% · Other 23%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
