Fleet Tracking Solutions Improve Driver Performance<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fleet tracking solutions<\/strong> offer many advantages; one in particular is it can help identify which employees have poor driving habits<\/a>. Not only does this cause safety issues for your drivers and other people on the road, it is wasting company money on fuel and could be adding extra wear and tear to the vehicle.<\/p>\n

It is crucial to tell your drivers if fleet tracking solutions<\/a> will be implemented because that alone is going to improve their driving habits. Many of our clients installed the solution and noticed huge improvements within the first few weeks without having to discuss their drivers poor driving habits. When fleet tracking solutions are introduced properly, and you clearly explain what you hope to accomplish with the solution (such as reduced fuel costs by reducing idling and speeding)<\/em> they will likely want to improve their driving on their own.<\/p>\n

For those drivers who don’t improve on their own, fleet tracking solutions will help identify what drivers are costing you the most money (through speeding, idling, hard braking etc.) You may want to start out by addressing your drivers as a group, to avoid singling anyone out. This way you can bring up the most commonly seen issues to your drivers as a whole – and hope they all improve. If you are still struggling with a few individual drivers, it’s then best you sit down with them to discuss how their habits are wasting fuel and causing a safety concern, and what they can do to improve.<\/p>\n

Employee Incentives for Most Improved Drivers<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have experienced many of our clients in the past creating a friendly company competition between all the drivers to see who can be the most successful. It makes it more fun for the employees to all compete for the best driver scorecard for the week. Some of our clients also start an incentive program to encourage drivers to have the best driving behaviour in the company.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple ideas for employee incentives to improve driver performance<\/a>:<\/p>\n
