Recommendations — what's driving each score

Tires 33% · Inspection / repair / DVIR 21% · Lighting / lamps 16%

• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
Vehicle and driver out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact
• Review recent inspections with out-of-service violations and fix the root causes with equipment and drivers
• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
A high share of violations are occurring in Penobscot County, ME · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Penobscot County, ME to spot recurring issues
