Recommendations — what's driving each score
Lighting / lamps violations are the leading contributor to Vehicle Maintenance · high impact
Lighting / lamps 48% · Brakes 24% · Inspection / repair / DVIR 15%
• Walk the lights every pre-trip and carry spare bulbs/fuses; clean lenses and check the trailer plug

Projected: could improve up to 44 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
A high share of violations are occurring in Barron County, WI · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Barron County, WI 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 48% · Speeding 41% · Phone / texting 11%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
