Recommendations — what's driving each score
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Brakes 48% (5 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 12% · Steering 9%
• Check brake adjustment and listen for air leaks every pre-trip; put brakes on the PM schedule
• Fix air-loss and warning-light faults before dispatch — don’t “drive it in”
Projected: could improve up to 35 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Holt County, NE · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Holt County, NE to spot recurring issues
• 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 50% · Speeding 50%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
Projected: could improve up to 6 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
