Best Practices for Compliance in Over-size/Over-dimensional Movement “Do Not Be Satisfied with the Status Quo” Mike Poppe Precision Heavy Haul, Inc.
Philosophy/Corporate Culture Develop a good safety incentive bonus program • That combines a safety program with commonsense practical incentives
Safety Incentive Bonus Program A fair & well managed safety incentive bonus program will: • Reward safety • Reduce damages • Improve driver performance • Reduce costs, i.e. insurance, maintenance, & overall operating costs • Maintain & improve CSA/ISS scores
Safety Incentive Bonus Program Could include: • Driver Incentive Bonus • EOBR Report Card Performance • Driver of the Year • Driver With the Most Pride • Quarterly Team Safety Bonus
Driver Incentive Bonus • Points based system – for example, driver starts w/100 points • Can “add to” or “subtract from” this total • Convert “end of year” total points to dollars and this amount is the driver’s bonus
Safety Incentive Bonus Program Examples of “subtracting from” points: • Not following permit guidelines • Not reporting equipment defects • Load not properly secured per “company” guidelines
Safety Incentive Bonus Program Examples of “subtracting from” points (continued): • Roadside violations • Roadside (Out of Service) violations • Not reporting accidents/incidents to the company • Monthly CVSA Level 1 inspections not completed
Safety Incentive Bonus Program Examples of “adding to” points: • Receive a “clean” law enforcement roadside inspection • Unsolicited written compliments from customers and/or law enforcement jurisdictions
Electronic On-Board Recorders(EOBRs) Benefits? • Recorded driver & equipment performance • Company can establish event thresholds for speed, idle time, hard braking, etc. • Exceeding thresholds sends alerts to managers • No HOS violations since implementation, including “form and manner” violations • Highest driver scorecard receives 50 points
Driver of the Year • Recognizes the driver who has demonstrated a superior work & safety ethic for the entire year • Recognizes the driver that had the highest over-all score for the year
Driver With the Most Pride • Recognizes driver that sets himself/herself apart from the rest • Encourages keeping trucks in “beyond” excellent condition • Principle measurement – “above acceptable” • Securement items organized & in good condition • Permit books in good order • Monthly unannounced vehicle safety inspections
Quarterly Team Safety Bonus • Include all employees and split into two teams • Each employee without an incident per quarter receives $50 • Each team with no incidents per quarter • All members of the team receives an additional $100 at end of 4th quarter • Promotes Team Building • Reduces workplace accidents and injuries
Safety Incentive Bonus Program “Going Above and Beyond” • How do you get there? • How do you maintain it? Questions?
