Perform Routine Maintenance

• Perform routine maintenance and repairs regularly.

• Thoroughly inspect every aspect of the vehicle, including the tires, brakes, fluid levels, lights, engine, battery and windshield wipers.

• Require your drivers to fill out a form specifying the outcome of the inspection to make sure they are being completed.

Review the Driver’s Driving Record

• Evaluate all drivers' MVRs before hiring them to ensure they have a good driving record.

• A MVR will reveal how many times a driver has gotten pulled over or been involved in an accident.

• It will also show if the driver has ever been caught driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence.

Provide the Right Training

• A single day training course will demonstrate how drivers can operate their vehicles safely and efficiently, but it probably will not change their mindset.

• Provide regular follow-up training sessions to instill fleet driver safety practices in their minds and ensure these practices are being followed.

Utilize a Telematics System

• Telematics software allows you to observe your driver's driving habits.

• Telematics can detect bad driving habits, including speeding, corning and heavy braking, to pinpoint which drivers are not operating their vehicles safely.
