Recommendations — what's driving each score
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · medium impact
Lighting / lamps 36% (4 OOS) · Brakes 35% (5 OOS) · Load securement 7% (2 OOS)
• 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 42 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Shawnee County, KS · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Shawnee County, KS to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 56% · Following / lane / reckless 17% · Phone / texting 13%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
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
