Recommendations — what's driving each score
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · high impact
Seat belt 52% · Following / lane / reckless 23% · Phone / texting 19%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 15 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Cambria County, PA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Cambria County, PA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Hours-of-Service Compliance needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Load securement violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Load securement 32% (6 OOS) · Brakes 31% (2 OOS) · Tires 27% (5 OOS)
• Carry extra straps/chains and know the working-load-limit math; re-check in the first 50 miles
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 24 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
