Recommendations — what's driving each score
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
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Tires 45% (5 OOS) · Brakes 41% (1 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 12%
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
Projected: could improve up to 48 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Kenosha County, WI · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Kenosha County, WI to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 41% · Speeding 36% · Other 11%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 30 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 82% · False log / RODS 18%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Projected: could improve up to 7 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
