Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 88% · Log / ELD device 13%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 18 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

Tires 37% (3 OOS) · Brakes 35% (1 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 28% (2 OOS)
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
