Recommendations — what's driving each score
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · high impact
Log / ELD device 51% · Following / lane / reckless 22% · False log / RODS 15%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Projected: could improve up to 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Washington County, MN · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Washington County, MN to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 56% · Following / lane / reckless 23% · Seat belt 13%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily
• Set and enforce a governed road speed; review telematics/dashcam speed events weekly
Projected: could improve up to 29 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
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Tires 40% (14 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 26% (1 OOS) · Brakes 21% (6 OOS)
• 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 25 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
