• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Driver Fitness 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

Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 32% (1 OOS) · Tires 31% (2 OOS) · Inspection / repair / DVIR 20%
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
