Driver's Alert Technology
The first essential ingredient of any successful fleet is hiring the right driver. Before a hiring decision is made, a candidate’s MVR (motor vehicle report) should be reviewed to determine past driving infractions. Risk of an at-fault accident increases as a function of the number of citations on a driver’s prior record. The second critical component of this integrated driver safety management tool, which will reduce atfault crashes, is call validation. In the driver observation industry, approximately 30 – 40% of all calls received by call centers are inaccurate, mainly due to incorrect identification of the vehicle and other erroneous information provided by the concerned motorist. One erroneous call report leads the supervisor and driver to doubt all call reports.
