Recommendations — what's driving each score
A high share of violations are occurring in Harris County, TX · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Harris County, TX to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
English language violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · low impact
English language 100% (1 OOS)
• Assess English proficiency at hire and provide support/training where needed
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 27 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
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 31% (9 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 30% (4 OOS) · Load securement 24% (28 OOS)
• 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 36 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
