Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Marshall County, IN · medium impact

Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 100%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
