Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Summit County, UT · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Summit County, UT 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 44% · Following / lane / reckless 28% · Other 28%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily

Projected: could improve up to 7 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Following / lane / reckless violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
Following / lane / reckless 43% (1 OOS) · False log / RODS 33% (2 OOS) · Log / ELD device 24%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 24 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
