Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in OH · medium impact
• Review the inspections from OH 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 68% · Speeding 32%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 6 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
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 35% · Tires 34% (7 OOS) · Brakes 14%
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 28 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Generated from the public inspection record. Percentiles/projections are VioCodes estimates, not official FMCSA figures.
90-day safety improvement plan
Last 90 days: 4 inspections, 3 violations, 1 OOS, 2 clean · trending worse.
1. Vehicle Maintenance3 viol · 1 OOS · 100%
393.75A3-TAOL, 396.17C-PI, 393.45D-B
✓ Gauge/thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
✓ Replace before tread hits the limit and correct low pressure immediately
≈ 9 clean inspections would cut this BASIC ~25% (to 2.925).
