Driver Management
Fleet Driver Management
Managing fleet drivers effectively can save companies thousands of pounds each year. Through driver training, telematics systems and effective fuel management systems, fleets can reduce costs and mileage while maintaining the same level of service.
Here at Fleet News we make sure you have all the up to date information and advice on driver management to help you run your fleet more effectively.
Effective Fleet Driver Management
There are many different procedures and management polices fleets can implement to help to manage company drivers more effectively, from licence checks to risk assessments.
Training on economic driving, mapping out the best routes and sourcing out the best local prices for fuel are just some of the ways fleets can manage fuel and their drivers to make the most out of the fuel.
Tracking systems are becoming increasing popular with fleets and can improve costs and visibility when it comes to driver management and help to run a more efficient fleet.
