Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Boundary County, ID · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Boundary County, ID to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Controlled Substances/Alcohol needs attention · low impact
• Review recent inspections with violations in this BASIC and take remedial action with drivers/equipment
Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Brakes 71% (1 OOS) · Steering 14% (1 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 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 27 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
