Recommendations — what's driving each score
Log / ELD device violations are the leading contributor to Hours-of-Service Compliance · medium impact
Log / ELD device 52% · False log / RODS 32% (2 OOS) · Following / lane / reckless 16%
• Make sure the ELD is registered, working, and drivers know how to log in and certify daily
• Prioritize the out-of-service items — they carry the heaviest weight
Projected: could improve up to 24 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Dorchester County, SC · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Dorchester County, SC to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Speeding violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Speeding 58% · Seat belt 27% · Following / lane / reckless 15%
• 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 5 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
Tires violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · low impact
Tires 31% (5 OOS) · Brakes 29% (1 OOS) · Lighting / lamps 24% (1 OOS)
• Gauge and thump every tire on the walk-around, including inner duals
• Replace before tread hits the limit; correct low pressure immediately
Projected: could improve up to 24 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
