Telematics and Video Services Weekly Fleet Reputation Builder for September 9, 2021
Hello everyone! I am sure you all heard of the billion dollar nuclear award in Florida recently (https://bit.ly/3zTC1bw). While there were extenuating circumstances, your drivers carry the fate of your company in their decisions every time they are on the road. One of those decisions is to speed.
This week I want to focus on a tip that helps protect your business from a potential nuclear award for speeding.Studies show that speeding is the primary cause of accidents and one of the four main nuclear award accelerants. One way that is visible to both the public and you is the SMS data in the unsafe driving category. If the violation numbers shown in the example are more than very low single-digit percentages based on your fleet size, your company may be turning a blind eye to speeding. In addition, if you have speed monitoring data, you need a documented process IMMEDIATELY. Carriers with this data generally have the right intentions to make their fleet safer. Still, resources are tight, have higher priorities, and just don’t have the time to act on the data. Your process needs to show continual improvement.
TVS has created a virtual automatic coaching module using speed monitoring data that ensures all the coaching gets completed and documented consistently. It uses your thresholds and message without an app. That product is SafetyCoach Speed. SafetyCoach Speed doesn’t take a vacation; it works 24/7 improving your reputation. Our customers have reduced their speed percentages by over half in the first couple of weeks. Come check us out at tvsanalytics.com or call 952-207-6726 for more information. This has been your TVS reputation builder tip of the week!
