Know your driver for better business growth

Road accidents and fleet costs are among the problems faced by everyone, especially by logistics companies. The main reason for road accidents is caused by dangerous driving behaviour. This causes fleet damages and risk safety of people on the road.

According to the survey of WHO (World Health Organization) in 2018, 1.35 million people of the world die in road accidents which means these accidents kill an average of 3,125 people every day. These accidents also cause injuries to 50 million people. It was found that distracted drivers were the reason for 70% of the accidents and 20% because of tired or sleepy drivers.

So, monitoring of driving behaviour becomes important.

How will driving behaviour affect your business and fleet costs?

Today we will find an answer to this question.

For the logistics industry, the condition of fleet and consignment is the main concern. As even the smallest problem in any of these can cause huge loss. If any of your fleet meets with an accident and your customer’s consignment is damaged. Then you may have to pay for the damage caused, and this may also affect your relations with the customers.

Idling and over-speeding of the fleet for a long time use more fuel. More usage of fuel means fuel expenditure increases.

Bad driving behaviour can increase the operational cost of your fleet by 20%. As it increases service, maintenance and repair of the fleet impact the operational cost.
