Yet, a major shortcoming of the BASIC score is that it only evaluates moments in time — during an accident or near miss — and fails to consider the bigger picture of a fleet’s safety record over time.
That’s where your fleet’s vehicle telematics come in.
By accessing valuable electronic logging devices (ELD) data on various aspects of each driver’s performance and behavior over time, fleets can isolate areas of improvement and offer training and incentives to improve driver safety behavior. Subsequently, with the use of telematics insurance, fleets benefit in the long run with a better reputation, lower premiums, enhanced profitability, and safer drivers.
Another key aspect gleaned from leveraging your fleet’s vehicle telematics is using this data to promote good driving behavior. Here are four tips fleets can use to accomplish this:
The ultimate goal: driver pride
Fleets should not underestimate the pride drivers feel from safe, successful deliveries. Drivers care about how they compare to peers and want to work for fleets that value their contributions.
Recognizing and incentivizing disciplined, safe driving builds loyalty and long-term success. This can be achieved by collecting and acting on telematics data.
