Application of Your Decals

• Clean the surface of the vehicle and leave damp. Apply the decal to the rear of the vehicle according to the image below, then squeegee the decal to remove excess water.

vehicle # not the VIN number) Vehicle Color Type ( i.e....Pick-up, SUV, Roll-off,

Straight Truck, or a Trailer) Comments - The comments section can

Responding to an Incident Report• The preferred method of responding to

an Incident Report is using the link in the body of the email that delivers the reports. This eliminates handwriting errors and time spent confirming a fax transmission.

• Required Fields will have a red * next to them. They must be completed for the response to be accepted into the system. When available ALWAYS choose drivers name from drop down box.

• Next choose your driver’s name from the drop down box. If the driver’s name is not in the box, you should choose “driver not in list”, and type their name into that field.

• After you have completed the required and optional fields click on the SAVE button and the response is now in our system.

You will see a green check mark at the top of the form that will let you know you have completed the response successfully.



Delinquent Response Form Alert

•The Delinquent Response Form Alert is an auto-generated notice transmitted to all relevant contacts on the Report Transmission List if the response (with all required fields) is not completed within 5 business days of receipt of the Incident Report.

•The alert will include links that will open the Incident Report as well as the Call Response Form.

Tip! To check and see if the report has been responded to you can click on the link to Alert Report and view the report, if the response was entered you will be able to view it at the bottom of the report. Even if it was saved moments before.



Driver’s Alert Online Driver Training

• With each Incident Report we send, we include access to an online driver training module that is specific to the call violation (i.e. speeding, weaving, etc).

• These interactive modules average about 10 to 15 minutes in length and are ideal for corrective action on specific driver safety issues.

• See the following slides to understand how to access and use the incident associated training modules.

• Contact your account manager Joe Zingale at 803-781-2806 if you have any problems with the training assignments.

Helpful Hints and Notes for the Remedial Training Modules Your driver will get a test at the end of the training modules. If driver fails the test after 3 attempts please refer to your HR policies regarding corrective actions.

If the driver fails the test the first time they will have 3 chances to try again. The final test score will be recorded. The “Call Summary” will have a column that will tell you at a glance if the driver has taken the training or not.

By clicking on the incident report # and looking in the upper right hand corner that will tell you the status of the report.

It will also tell you if the training has been started or if “no training was required”.

If the training is “completed” you can click on it and print the certificate. If your driver is having problems with the training modules, it’s freezing or won’t load you need to check the minimum requirements for your computer. You do need speakers.

Link

Once you have clicked that link you will see the “Training Welcome Screen” Your options here are as follows:

• Use Advanced Training

• Go to Training Home

• View the Course Library

* Note if you are new to this training you will need to set up your drivers.

•This is where you want to go to assign the full premium training modules to your drivers, view their training history, and add driver’s to the “driver list” so they will appear in the drop down box on the response forms.



Training Home

There are two ways to add your drivers.

1) You can get an upload form (an Excel spread sheet called the “Driver Training Upload Form”) fill out the information and send it to DA to upload the driver info or…

2) You can add your drivers manually.

Setting Up Your Drivers List

Please note that if you have access to more than one location, you can change your view or see the different location names (company name field) you can sort by all of these columns if you want to or you can limit your search by using the “selection” and “search” field.

Also be sure to check the rows per page or what page you are looking at it may not be the full list.

If you had your drivers uploaded via the Excel spread sheet you will see your driver’s listed here.

If not you will start by adding a driver.



Adding a Driver to Your Driver’s ListAdding a driver to your list is a 2 or 3 step process depending on if your entry is a possible duplicate.

After you have clicked on the “Add Driver” from the driver list you will be prompted through the process below.

In step 3 you will need to:

1. Choose a home location for your driver from drop down box.

2. Add driver’s first name

3. Give the driver a password (using their employee id # as the password is highly suggested!

4. The other fields are optional, keep in mind if you do not provide a password the system will generate one for you but it is very long.

Add the driver’s last name and employee ID #, then submit the information.

*** If this is not a duplicate entry you will skip step 2 and go directly to step 3.***



Adding Driver’s To Driver’s List Step 2 If you add a driver’s last name and/or employee ID in step 1, and there are matching names in the system you will be directed to step 2.

The reason for this is to avoid duplicate entries.

After you have added a duplicate name or number the computer will give you a list of possible matches.

Please note that there is a column for “active” this means that particular driver appears in your “Driver Manifest”.

The others were entered but previously deactivated from the system.

Also note the computer assigned password! It’s very long.

If the driver you are adding is not on this list, simply click the check box to confirm and then the green “Continue” bar.

At any time to return to see your driver list, click the red link to “Return to Driver Manifest”.



Assigning Premium Training

• From the driver’s List, choose the driver(s) that you want to assign training to and check the box to the left of their name.

• Click the Assign Training (green box at top or bottom of the page) button to assign training to the driver(s) you selected.TIP ! Use the rows per page drop

down box so you can view all your driver’s from this location on one page by scrolling down instead of bouncing between pages. Or use the “search selection” feature.

From the driver list you can also edit a driver’s information by checking the box on the left of their name and clicking the edit on the right.

You can also deactivate a driver by choosing the driver(s) and clicking deactivate drivers bar at the top of the list.

Assigning the Training to Individual Drivers



Assigning Premium TrainingOnce you have chosen your driver(s) that

you want to assign the training to and you’ve clicked on the “Assign Training” bar, you will be given a list of courses that can be assigned.

•You simply choose the course(s) you wish to assign to the driver(s) by checking the box next to the course.

•The due date defaults to exactly two weeks, however you can change this by typing in the date you would like it completed by.

•Then submit for review.

Some courses are available for large or light vehicles.

If the course is available in Spanish, the driver will be given the choice to take it in Spanish when

he goes to take the course.

When you are looking at the “Training Assignment Review” screen, please note the check box at the bottom and the RED writing. This feature is in place to stop duplicate assignments.

If you DO want to assign the driver the same course within one year, all you need to do is UN CHECK the box!

Then “Confirm Training” if all is well.



Premium Training Login Instructions

After you have confirmed your training you will have the option to print out the “Driver Instruction Sheet”.

This sheet will give the driver step-by-step instructions on how to login, and their user id and password.

If you have assigned training to more than one driver the instruction sheets will print out on separate sheets so that you can hand them out at your convenience.

If you have entered an email address for your driver, the driver will receive an email with a link which will eliminate the login process completely, and take the driver straight to the courses that were assigned.

NOTE! The web address the drivers will log into for the remedial training and the premium training are not the same! Read and type carefully or email.



Viewing History or Editing Training Once a driver has been assigned training you

can view what you have assigned by doing the following:

1) Go to the Driver’s List

2) Check the names of the driver’s training history you wish to view.

3) Click the “Training History” bar at the top.

•Please note the status of the training in the far right column, the scores are listed as well as if the training has been completed you will be able to “view” then print the certificates.

•This training is the same as the remedial in the sense that they have 3 chances to pass the course then the score is recorded.

•If driver fails the test after 3 attempts please refer to your HR policies regarding corrective actions.

•Also from training history you can change the due dates for the courses as well.

The call history can also be downloaded to Excel for all drivers then sorted as you deem necessary.
