  1. Fleet Management Tips Managing a fleet of vehicles requires you to ensure that your drivers remain safe, productive, and that your company saves money while achieving your service goals. There are a number of tips you can consider to ensure you keep your fleet management effective, that you benefit from the system, and that your business continues to grow with confidence. The first tip for effective fleet management is to understand the importance of preventative maintenance and how it can save the company money in the long run. Vehicles that are properly maintained have a reduced risk of requiring unexpected repairs which can result in unwelcome downtime. Preventative maintenance includes tire rotation, general safety checks, oil changes, and more. In addition to this, you want to pay very close attention to the cost of ownership of each vehicle. Increasing maintenance costs can be a sign that the vehicle is old and needs upgrading in order to save you money in the long run. Further, you need to have a good understanding of the warranty coverage and how it can save your business money. When it comes to your fleet, you need to understand the demands each vehicle will be faced with during its lifespan in the fleet. Outlying the vehicle’s usage and then properly specifying the vehicle accordingly can save you money. Overloading vehicles, for example, can increase maintenance requirements and negatively impact your budget. As a fleet manager, you want to ensure that the company's policies are communicated effectively with all drivers, making them aware of their responsibility, company vehicle use policies, and schedules. It's advisable to ensure drivers are aware of what to do if involved in an accident or if the vehicle breaks down. Tire pressure is something that should be checked regularly. This simple procedure is often overlooked, but the tire pressure will affect how the vehicle handles fuel efficiency and driver safety. Invest in a reliable and effective fleet management system that can provide you with a wealth of benefits. This will help you manage your fleet with confidence while keeping your finger on the pulse. The first reason to invest in a fleet management system is that you can improve dispatching and take on more jobs. You will have real-time information on where vehicles are located and how much time they have left at the job. In turn, you can make space for more jobs and projects quickly, ensuring that you improve productivity at all times.

  2. Reports on your fleet are automated and you can choose whether you want daily hourly or weekly reports. This can help you identify the habits of the fleet, enabling you to make adjustments where needed to ensure that the fleet remains productive and cost-effective. Enjoy the convenience of improving vehicle fuel efficiency by analyzing driver behavior and the overall health of each vehicle. You can track extended idling times, driving conditions, and driver behavior. The more information you have at your fingertips, the easier it is to make decisions to lower vehicle-related costs in the business. In addition to this, you can improve fleet safety by using a fleet management system that can improve the safety habits of drivers by identifying driver patterns and habits. You can reduce the risk of dangerous driving behaviors to protect both driver and vehicle. Further, a fleet management system can reduce your insurance costs. Insurance companies are sometimes willing to offer discounted rates or financial incentives to companies relying on a fleet maintenance system to improve safety and reduce the risk of accidents.
