Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in NC · medium impact
• Review the inspections from NC to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 49% · Other 35% · Speeding 9%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 12 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Hours-of-Service Compliance 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
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
