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<\/a> or having them ride with another employee for a specific period of time.<\/p>\n
