Case studies: Driver monitoring

Number of employees: 1,100+ / Locations: Across 3 states

CHALLENGES

Since 1976, a Colorado-based leader in the machine and engine industry has managed a workforce of over 1,100 drivers across several states. Due to the decentralized nature of its operations, the company faced significant challenges in managing driver compliance and safety. With varying state regulations and multiple data sources, the company consistently struggled to oversee driver violations and qualifications.

SOLUTION

To address these challenges, the company adopted a continuous driver monitoring system. This solution enabled the company to get quicker updates on driver qualifications, critical record changes, and upcoming license renewals. Moving from annual reviews to continuous monitoring enhanced the company's ability to quickly identify and address high-risk drivers, improving overall safety and compliance.

RESULTS

Since implementing continuous MVR monitoring, driver management has improved significantly and quickly. High-risk drivers are now identified more efficiently, and the company maintains better compliance with safety regulations. By receiving regular, detailed reports, the company has been able to better align safety protocols, save time monitoring driving behavior, and save money. The system's user-friendly interface has been well-received by stakeholders too, contributing to enhanced operational efficiency and safety standards across multi-state operations.

Number of employees: 1,500+

CHALLENGES

An oilfield services company operating in North America struggled to maintain an active list of individuals driving personal vehicles on company time. Keeping track of employee driving habits was difficult, and the company had a strong desire to find a proactive solution with high-risk drivers. Often, employees were unaware that their licenses had been suspended, creating further liability issues for the company.

SOLUTION

Following an audit, the company implemented continuous driver monitoring to keep up with ongoing updates and development of motor vehicle record (MVR) reviews. Continuous MVR monitoring helped provide critical and unmatched insight into the driving behavior of their entire employee base, allowing comprehensive, manageable, and more transparent monitoring of all employees.

RESULTS

Continuous driver monitoring and a proactive intervention strategy significantly improved the company's motor vehicle safety program. This not only simplified the management of their driver list but also:

• Helped the company avoid significant increases in insurance premiums during renegotiations.
• Achieved a higher level of safety and operational efficiency by maintaining a thorough understanding of employees' driving behaviors.
