Recommendations — what's driving each score
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · medium impact
Log / ELD device 44% · Hours exceeded 28% · False log / RODS 14%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
Projected: could improve up to 24 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Franklin County, OH · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Franklin County, OH 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 53% · Speeding 35% · Other 13%
• Defensive-driving refresher on following distance and lane discipline

Drugs / alcohol violations are the leading contributor to Controlled Substances/Alcohol · low impact
Drugs / alcohol 100% (1 OOS)
• Reinforce the testing program and zero-tolerance policy
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 13 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Tires 38% (2 OOS) · Other 25% (3 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 18%
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
