Many fleet managers are aware that consumers want their products as fast as they can, with this in mind it is hard not to pressurise the drivers of the fleet vehicles to get the deliveries out as soon as they can, but does this affect the way in which the vehicles are driven? This is a huge concern, especially with this rise in the health and safety aspects around the workplace, onsite and offsite.
The fact is that multi drop drivers amongst many other van and truck drivers are renowned for fast and unsafe driving with little or no penalties from the delivery companies. All the delivery companies often care about is getting the parcels delivered on time.
This is all changing as health and safety becoming more and more important. What is the solution to this problem?
Well, vehicle tracking can assist in monitoring the way in which the vehicle fitted with the device is driven and the speeds in which the vehicle is being given at any given time. Managers can with many tracking systems see the average speeds of drivers and the number of instances when drivers have broken speed limit over the period of month.
