5 Benefits of Analyzing Fleet Driver Behavior

29 Dec 2016

As a fleet owner or manager, you place a lot of faith in your drivers – that they are following protocols, staying on task, and driving safely while out on the roads. Once upon a time you had no real way of knowing that they were doing these things, but that has changed and today you can record the real time behavior of your drivers while they are on the road.

Modern GPS fleet tracking also offers you the opportunity to receive detailed reports that monitor driving behavior and actions for short and extended periods of time. These are five important ways using these reports to analyze driver behavior can benefit your business.

1) Helps You Create Effective Driver Incentives

People like rewards for success. From star stickers in grade school to Stanley Cups in ice hockey. It gives them something to strive for and a reward for accomplishing those goals. Analyzing your driver reports can help you not only create rewards that will motivate your drivers, but also measure their progress for accomplishing those goals.

2) Use as a Foundation for Drivers Performance Reviews

When drivers understand that the information revealed in GPS fleet tracking reports will be used to help determine not only whether they get a raise or not, but also where they are able to continue in their current roles with the organization, you will see impressive results from your efforts. GPS tracking can help you create reports that show long-term unsafe driving patterns for some drivers, show signs of improvement in others, and confirm the safe driving practices of others.

3) Reduction in Fuel Costs

Analyzing driver behavior allows you to look for a wide range of things, like speeding, idling, and off-route driving that can greatly increase your fuel costs over the course of time. Drivers that know you’re paying attention will alter or eliminate these behaviors in an effort to keep their jobs – saving you a fair amount of money.

4) Reduction in Traffic Accidents

By and large, this is one of the most important reasons to analyze driver behavior. Drivers who know they are being scrutinized will tend drive safer leading to fewer accidents and creating a much safer workplace for all.

5) Improvement in Vehicle Wear and Tear

Speeding, hard braking, and accidents related to tailgating or simple bad driving are hard on vehicles. The wear and tear can result in more frequent repairs and the need to replace vehicles sooner than the actual miles driven may warrant. Analyzing reports allows you to see which drivers may be abusing your company vehicles so that you can take appropriate action.

Analyzing driver behavior can make a huge difference in the bottom line for your business. Try it today to see just how much of a difference it can make.
