FLEET SAFETY MANAGEMENT 4 How s my driving? The industry s leading driver observation program Driver s Alert has decades of data showing a direct correlation between observation calls and the probability, severity, and cost of accidents. Correcting the behaviors that cause these calls is the key to reducing accidents. Driver s Alert provides the industry s leading decal-based How s my driving? program, demonstrated effective toward improving driver safety and reducing costs. The program works like this: A concerned motorist calls the 800 number displayed on the back of the insured s vehicle to report a specific problem such as a lane change made without signaling to a live operator in a state-of-the-art, 24/7/365 call center. Each report includes an audio file of the call, so you ll never waste time chasing unconfirmed complaints or trying to verify what was said. Most importantly, the user-friendly integrated software system turns each incident into an actionable event and documents your timely intervention. So, returning to our example, the system automatically would access the improper lane change training category and issue a recommendation that your driver complete a computer-based training module for that safety category. Standard and customizable online reports give managers the ability to spot safety trends across entire fleets instantly and address problems quickly.

FLEET SAFETY MANAGEMENT 6 GPS tracking Another great tool for improving driver safety Driver s Alert GPS units provide real-time information to managers on driver behavior, fuel usage, preventive maintenance targeting, employee productivity and more. Unlike other GPS programs that typically offer visual cues, our devices use audible alerts. These sounds warn the driver about unsafe behaviors without requiring him/her to look at the device rather than the road. The buzzer will not stop until the driver makes a correction. Through continuous monitoring, small problems can be identified and addressed via accident prevention programs. An integrated software system manages your data, consolidating fleet-wide trends into valuable reports and turning GPS alarms into actionable events. In cooperation with telematics leader Geotab, Driver s Alert is making 21st century solutions cost-effective and easy to use. Benefits include: Typical 10% fuel savings through reduced idling and harsh acceleration/braking Enhanced safety and accident reduction (You ll know instantly when vehicles exceed your parameters such as speed, acceleration and harsh braking and when drivers aren t wearing their seatbelts.) Simple Web dashboard that helps managers easily analyze and compare fleet metrics Color-coded and closest vehicle route optimization capabilities Accident reconstruction features which limit your liability Geofences that alert managers when vehicles leave and re-enter preset boundaries Ensured compliance with new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration electronic hours of service (EHOS) requirements Ready to order Driver s Alert GPS tracking units for your organization s fleet vehicles?
