Recommendations — what's driving each score
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 52% · Seat belt 19% · Following / lane / reckless 16%
• Coach the drivers with speeding violations directly — Unsafe Driving points are weighted heavily
• Set and enforce a governed road speed; review telematics/dashcam speed events weekly
Projected: could improve up to 25 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
False log / RODS violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · low impact
False log / RODS 74% · Following / lane / reckless 25% · Log / ELD device 1%
• Audit ELD edits and duty-status annotations weekly; a false log is a high-severity, high-visibility violation
• Retrain on correct logging and never letting a load pressure a driver into a false entry
Projected: could improve up to 18 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
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 7 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Lighting / lamps 60% (5 OOS) · Brakes 21% (3 OOS) · Other 6%
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 39 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
