6 May 2025Monitoring the fleet drivers can offer useful insight into the driver’s behavior to ensure that they are driving safely, taking the optimized route, and minimizing fuel consumption. It is also an excellent way to deter unauthorized use of company vehicles.
What is risky fleet driving behavior?
Drivers of fleets often resort to risky driving behaviors that can cause accidents, damaging the company’s vehicles and property. It also adversely affects the company’s reputation leading to increased maintenance issues, insurance premiums, and fuel consumption costs.
Some examples of risky driving behavior include:
- Drowsy driving with drivers falling asleep behind the wheels
- Driving over the specified speed limit
- Hard braking that can damage the vehicle parts
- Hard cornering and making hard turns
- Aggressive driving
- Distracted driving
- Traffic violations and ignoring traffic lights
How GPS Tracking Can Reduce Driver’s Risky B
GPS fleet tracking systems use advanced GPS technology to monitor drivers’ behavior. It assists in reducing risky behaviors like speeding, hard braking, and sudden acceleration/deceleration, ensuring fleet safety while reducing vehicle abuse.
The benefits of using a GPS tracking system to monitor driver’s behavior include:
- Monitor driver behavior in real time: GPS trackers generate real-time data on drivers’ risky behaviors like hard braking and speeding to help monitor the drivers over a period of time.
- Reduce fleet fuel consumption: GPS trackers can offer real-time data on the times the driver is leaving the vehicle idling unnecessarily or taking longer routes to reduce fuel consumption and save on costs.
- Generate driver scorecards: Advanced GPS trackers can generate real-time driver’s scorecards that offer a comprehensive driving pattern of individual drivers that help identify the low-performing ones in the fleet.
- Optimize fleet routes: GPS trackers offer telematic solutions that help managers identify the best routes that the fleet can take to optimize productivity while reducing fuel consumption.
- Reduce unauthorized vehicle use: GPS trackers use sophisticated technology to ensure the drivers are not using the fleet for their personal purposes. This helps in reducing fuel consumption costs while preventing costly vehicle maintenance.
- Improve customer service: GPS fleet tracking software can offer a detailed report of the entire status of the fleet in one screen throwing light on the driver’s accountability and integrity.
