Recommendations — what's driving each score
English language violations are the leading contributor to Driver Fitness · high impact
English language 97% · Driver qualification / CDL / medical 3% (3 OOS)
• Assess English proficiency at hire and provide support/training where needed

Brakes violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Brakes 45% (50 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 28% (118 OOS) · Tires 16% (36 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 35 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
