SPEAKER 1 – “Achieving COMPLIANCY is synonymous with achieving Best Practices. When a fleet is in full compliance with all defined measures, it will be operating at its highest efficiency – lowest costs, highest productivity. Let’s start with Company Policy”
Compliance is synonymous with best-practice performance, and that means a fleet is operating at peak efficiency.
Full compliance is synonymous with best-practice performance. It means that your fleet is operating with maximum efficiency—i.e., the highest productivity at the lowest possible cost. Through compliance, ARI ensures that your company's fleet:
- Stays legally and safely on the road in support of the company's mission
- Leverages the performance efficiencies and economies available through current industry best practices and the latest technologies
- Remains strategically aligned with the goals of your company
** Each topic hyperlinked to new slide **
The first topic we are going to cover is policy.
Companies establish and enforce internal fleet policies and standards to safeguard and advance their interests. They set the ground rules for vehicles and drivers and cover every facet of fleet operation from selecting, driving and maintaining vehicles to keeping drivers safe and protecting the company from legal liability and financial loss.
Communicating to drivers the need for and value of complying with internal rules is important to the fleet's success. ARI clients do this through our online AlertDriving training module. New drivers review the policy as part of training and, after reading, take a quiz on content and agree to comply.** Honeycomb moves to center upon slide change **

15. Sourcing Impact Above is the summary of savings which was the result of factory ordering vs. dealer stock purchases at year end. This also combined the review of vehicle functional requirements which allowed us to claim some right-sizing credit as well.
The client gets a capital expense allotment on December 1 of every year for the Refineries. In the past, they would go the local dealers and acquire whatever they could from dealer stock. With the forecast and proper planning, we factory ordered in September which allowed for delivery prior to the end of the year inclusive of all upfitting requirements.Above is the summary of savings which was the result of factory ordering vs. dealer stock purchases at year end.

16. Consulting Dedicated staff to provide analysis and best practices recommendations
Highly trained in analytical and consulting methodology
Results are delivered in a White Paper format
Publish monthly, quarterly or periodic updates on industry trends
Most organizations have limited resources which causes back-logs
17. Regulatory Compliance Initial Title & Registration
Province and State transfers
Annual Renewals
Corrections
City & County Decals
Duplicate Registrations
Replacement Plates The IRP is an agreement authorizing proportional registration of commercial vehicles and providing for the recognition of such registrations in the participating jurisdictions.
The IFTA is a base jurisdiction agreement authorizing fuel tax licensing and reporting, and providing for the recognition of such licenses and the transmittal of such fuel tax in and to the participating jurisdiction.
HUT – Highway Use Tax – For Vehicles 18kgvw or greater. Must report mileage and keep track of toll road usage where HUT is not applicable. For companies that have regular routes this is an easy process (i.e. package delivery company) the numbers would never change.
2290 - Federal HUT – Vechicles over 55K GVW. Once a year filing.
IFTA – report weekly: trips and fuel, then report to their reporting state who decifers where all the money goes based on the gas bought and the state it was bought in as well as the miles traveled in that state.
IRP –Apportion plates. For Vehicles over 26K GVW that cross state lines. At year end have all the miles and fuel per state and send in renewal to the state they register in who sends the appropriate monies to the appropraite states.

18. DOT Regulations Medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles must comply with all DOT rules and regulations
Required to keep your fleet legally on the road
Important to the safety of your drivers
Risks for non-compliance: fines, downtime and litigation
Very easy to outsource to a third-party
Achieve It
Inspection and maintenance program
Maintain daily logs, reports and accident register
Meet HAZMAT requirements
Driver Qualifications Files (DQF)
Drug & Alcohol Testing Program
A company came to us because they did not have a comprehensive program with exception reporting. Each location was managing compliance on its own without fully understanding the regulations. Once they were confronted with an audit and subsequent fines, they reached out to us to better understand what they needed to do to be Compliant.

20. Mileage Reporting A company was collecting business miles on expense sheets that were keyed manually and that included all expense items, not just vehicle-specific expenses.
In order to locate the items pertaining to business and personal mileage, staff reviewed the reports line by line.
In addition, the final mileage reports were not compliant with IRS requirements.
Since enrolling in a personal mileage reporting program, drivers submit their miles electronically; the program audits the data and generates automatic reports that are IRS-compliant.
The value is reduced administrative burden and no chance of fines.

24. Maintenance Management A fleet was unsuccessful in controlling routine maintenance and associated costs for a fleet of approximately 250 delivery trucks.
After enrolling in a fleet maintenance program, the vendor managed the fleet’s maintenance activities and identified cost savings opportunities:
Enforced preventive maintenance schedules with exception reporting
Notified drivers who had upcoming or missed services
Negotiated vendor goodwill adjustments, labor discounts and post warranty recovery
Declined unnecessary repairs

25. Maintenance + Garage Management One of ARI’s utility clients who uses both internal garages and outside vendors was having difficulty keeping its maintenance activities organized. The client turned to ARI for help in setting up an effective maintenance reporting and management system.
By using ARI’s Virtual Garage and Maintenance Management Program, this utility was able to combine in-house and outsourced maintenance activities into one unified program, efficiently manage garage activities, and consolidate vendor-in and vendor-out repair data.
Working closely to control maintenance card expenses, negotiate fuel and independent vendor discounts, avoid unnecessary repairs, and aggressively pursuing warranty recovery, ARI helped our customer realize a total savings of $163,000 in only the first 12 months.

26. Company Policy Fleet Solutions:
Application – A company policy is the greatest way to reduce risk within the company, but it must be clear, concise and backed by management. The one driver you let keep the car with the DUI because he/she is your greatest sales rep can nullify your policy.
Value – This is important because if you don’t have control, you have chaos, which leads to untracked spending and un-measurable performance. Also, when your drivers are on the road, they are public relations agents for your company. If their driving habits are unsafe and unprofessional, that image carries to the rest of the company.
Risk – If you don’t establish the ground rules, you risk paying the penalty – fines, downtime, increased operating costs – everything that we identified in those pictures a few slides back.
Achieve It – For liability purposes, there are a couple of ways to ensure drivers read the policy: written signature, electronic signature and policy testing. One easy way that ARI helps companies convey to their drivers the importance of their compliance to the company’s fleet policy is through AlertDriving’s online program. We can upload your company’s driver policy for new drivers to review as part of an on-line training curriculum. Drivers consent to comply with the policy after they’ve read it. After that, you can even have the system quiz your drivers on the content.
On the next few slides, we highlight a few topics that you should address in your company fleet policy:
The dangers of using cell phones and other electronic devices while driving
Letting family members use company vehicles

27. Develop a Policy That Protects Your People and Your Bottom Line Fleet Solutions:
“Negligent entrustment claims arise when an unlicensed, incompetent, or reckless driver causes damages while driving a motor vehicle owned by someone else. Your policy should define if personal use of a company vehicle is allowed, if other family members are able to drive the company vehicle and insurance requirement for non-employee drivers.
For example, ARI requires clients to carry insurance and pay the cost thereof against the liability for bodily injury in the minimum single limit of $1,000,000 and against liability for property damage in the minimum limit of $100,000 for the client's employees and others who operate the vehicle (with the client’s permission).
Negligent Entrustment also includes the assigned driver and what is known and ‘should be known’ about that driver. What I am referring to here is their driving record or MVR.”
DM:
“It is surprising the number of companies that do not pull an annual MVR for their driver much less the 3rd party that may be driving the vehicle. All of which they would be liable for if it is not clearly stated in their policy.
We find that some companies feel if they don’t know it won’t hurt them – when in reality the opposite is true.

28. Motor Vehicle Record Checks Many times MVRs are handled by the HR department, where upon hire, an MVR is pulled. In some cases, we have seen customers who never pull it again, finding out their driver has a suspended license only when there is an incident in the company vehicle, leaving the company fully liable.
Examples
A permits B to drive his car. B is a girl of 14 who, A knows has never driven a car before. B’s inexperience causes a collision in which C is hurt. Under the Restatement, A is liable to C.
Driver fails to stop at red traffic light, hit 4 vehicles, injures 12, including 5 year old with brain damage and fatality to 37 year old who was pregnant; fetus died. Driver had six prior accidents know to company’s management. Resulted in $11,000,000 settlement.

37. Accident Management Not enrolled in ARI’s Accident Management program, an ARI client was having difficulty terminating a wrecked vehicle with its insurance company. Having received a dissatisfying settlement check of $6,354, the client turned to us for guidance. Armed with our expert advice, the client revisited the issue with its insurance company. The insurance adjuster then contacted ARI directly, and we negotiated an amount of $20,725 ($5201.33 over book value), which the insurance company issued to the client. The client then instructed ARI to sell the wrecked vehicle, which we did at auction for $7,786.50. As a result, the client enjoyed a profit of $12,987.83.
As a result of ARI's goodwill efforts and experiencing firsthand how ARI's Accident Management program would have save the client's time and effort while attaining the same results, the client enrolled its entire fleet in our Accident Management program.

38. Driver Safety ARI has received positive feedback from several clients who have experienced costs savings because of our Driver Risk Assessment. Because our customers can document the work that ARI has done concerning identifying high-risk drivers and training, they are seeing reduced liability premiums, by as much as $60,000 per year, as well as avoiding rate increases altogether. In one example, an ARI client’s loss experience improved through fewer incidents and reduced accident severity. Its average claim reduced in size by more than $500.
