Recommendations — what's driving each score

• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 56% · Speeding 44%

Log / ELD device 50% · False log / RODS 50%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Projected: could improve up to 4 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Driver Fitness needs attention · low impact
