Everything you need to know about fleet safety
Tracking your assets can prevent theft before it happens, by giving fleet managers access to real-time location of their trucks and trailers, providing them with control and visibility of their assets.
Now fleet managers can improve operational efficiency and encourage and reward safe driving behavior. Using GPS trackers embedded in trucks, fleet managers can now gain access to all sorts of data. They can get updates on maintenance, improve the fleet’s budget with fuel cost savings, and even improve driver safety.
With the absence of safety policies, fleet safety practices often go neglected. Implementing a fleet safety system helps avoid accidents and guarantees the safety of your drivers, vehicles and the public.
Here’s why you need to Implement safety solutions for your fleet
Increased trailer utilization
Improve inefficient turnaround times and ensure no truck sits idle. By utilizing tracking reports, you can now check the utilization of your vehicles. Checking the daily utilization, miles, and trips provides insight into which trucks are used most and least often.
Theft Reduction
Improve your chances of recovering a stolen truck or asset with real time location tracking, preventing truck loss by receiving alerts and keeping track of inventory. With better visibility and insight, your risk of losing or having a truck or asset stolen is reduced.
Recover lost assets
In the event of theft or misuse, the tracker provides highly accurate location information that improves asset visibility and enables you to quickly recover your assets.
Manage unauthorized use
Manage your trucks and gain insights into how and where they are being used, you can track unauthorized or illegal use from any device. Gather asset use information, pull data, and create insightful reports.
Reduce insurance premium
Telematics not only provides insight to insurance companies, but fleet operators have the power to be in control of their premium costs by coaching their drivers to adopt safe driving habits.
Setting geofence boundaries
When a vehicle equipped with a GPS device crosses the geofence an alert is triggered. If a fleet vehicle leaves these boundaries, fleet managers are notified. Fleet managers get real time notification when a vehicle leaves a site during off-hours, enabling them to detect potential threats of theft.
Unauthorized or misuse of the fleet, including the use of vehicles outside of designated areas or outside of work hours, dangerous driving, and more, can cost your business money as well as potential liability risks.
Fleet safety programs, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) can help fleets understand and coach drivers in real-time, keeping vehicles and drivers safe and increasing vehicle lifespan.
