Recommendations

What’s driving each score, what to do about it, and where it could go.

A high share of violations are occurring in Washington County, RI

Medium impact

5 of 12 violations in the last 12 months (42%) came from inspections in Washington County, RI. That can mean tougher enforcement there or simply more of your miles run through it — either way it's worth a look.

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

Strong links

Shared VINs come from FMCSA roadside-inspection records — a vehicle inspected under more than one carrier, often a fleet transfer or trailer interchange. Other links come from the FMCSA census. Shared identifiers are common and often legitimate — treat these as leads to investigate, not proof of wrongdoing.
