Recommendations — what's driving each score

Driver qualification / CDL / medical violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · high impact

Driver qualification / CDL / medical 100% (7 OOS)

• Run a credential-expiration tracker; keep DQ files complete and the medical card on the driver

• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight

Projected: could improve up to 32 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

Driver out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact

• Review recent inspections with out-of-service violations and fix the root causes with equipment and drivers

• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights

A high share of violations are occurring in Kanawha County, WV · medium impact

• Review the inspections from Kanawha County, WV to spot recurring issues

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

Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact

Speeding 55% · Following / lane / reckless 30% · Seat belt 16%

• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily

• Set and enforce a governed road speed; review telematics/dashcam speed events weekly

Projected: could improve up to 23 pts in ~12 months if worked down.

False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact

False log / RODS 86% (7 OOS) · Hours exceeded 7% · Following / lane / reckless 7%

• Audit ELD edits and duty-status annotations weekly; a false log is a high-severity, high-visibility violation

• Retrain on correct logging and never letting a load pressure a driver into a false entry

Projected: could improve up to 26 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
