Best Practices For Comprehensive Fleet Driver Monitoring <\/h2>\n

When you want to take an integrated approach to driver monitoring, you must consider driver\u2019s license data, traffic violation information, Motor Vehicle Records and telematics information. However, alone this take gives an incomplete picture of a driver\u2019s safety.<\/p>\n

Today, business owners and fleet managers have access to an unbelievable amount of information about their drivers. The trick is you need to play connect the dots with all of the information and driving records to get a comprehensive view of your employee\u2019s driving record.<\/p>\n

The best practices for comprehensive fleet driver monitoring include: <\/p>\n

Establish An Initial Baseline<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monitoring your drivers has to start with a clear, complete and accurate baseline. Get an official 3-year Motor Vehicle Report provided by the state. All of your future driver monitoring activities will then be compared to the initial baseline.<\/p>\n

Frequently Monitor<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the absolute minimum, drivers need to be monitored monthly. In 30 days, many things can happen that could lead to potential problems and increased risk of negligent driver entrustment.<\/p>\n

Take Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you have insight into your driver\u2019s habits and behavior, you now have the ability to take action. Corrective action includes enrolling employees in additional driver training or having them ride with another employee for a specific period of time.<\/p>\n

Separate from the additional costs of an unsafe driver, understanding your driver\u2019s performance is the best thing to do to improve safety. It creates a culture of safety with safer employees and promotes a safer community.<\/p>\n

Comprehensive fleet driver monitoring<\/a> best practices require commitment and diligence; however, it has never been as easy as it is today. There are so many advances in fleet management technology that are making it easy for you to manage your fleet and take corrective action if it is needed. It is unbelievable how much more efficient, productive and safer implementing these best practices can make your business<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
