Driver Accountability Leads to Profitability
One of the most important preventive measures that a fleet based company can take against undue litigation and personal stress is custom decals. Decals give your drivers an added sense of responsibility when they are in the general public. If they know that they can be chastised at any time for unprofessional driving, they are more likely to be on their best behavior.
Studies have shown that “how’s my driving decals” reduce collision frequency by more than half. Custom decals are also a very efficient way to identify the drivers that put your company at risk. If you know who these drivers are, you have a better chance of saving yourself money by avoiding accidents and restructuring or retraining your fleet drivers.
It is less expensive to properly train your at risk drivers before they get into an accident on the road. After you are able to identify high-risk drivers, you can enroll them in online training programs to change their behavior before they get on the road.
Retraining your drivers will pay for the program itself with every court case and hospital bill that you avoid as a company. There will also be a reduced amount of angry phone calls reporting unsafe driving. This alone can improve a company’s overall operations.
If your company starts with the “how’s my driving decals” and appropriately identifies and retrains your at risk drivers, your company will save tens of thousands of dollars on your bottom line each year. Preventive measures are always the best way to go. No matter what the business is, a penny of prevention is and always has been worth a pound of cure.
