Phone / texting violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact

• Hands-off-the-phone policy with real consequences; provide a mount and a do-not-disturb setup

Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Log / ELD device 74% · False log / RODS 26% (1 OOS)
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
