Do 'How's My Driving?' Programs Really Work?

摘要

Studies show that properly managed safety hotline programs reduce crashes by 22 percent or more. These services might be available to your fleet for free. You've seen the "How's my driving?" bumper stickers on the backs of delivery vehicles and big rigs. Have you ever called the 800 number to report erratic driving? Do you think anyone answers the phone? Have you wondered about the underlying purpose of these programs, and if one could work for your fleet? Those bumper stickers are part of a safety hotline (or driver monitoring) program. The goal of a program is, simply, to reduce vehicle crashes. As CEO of SafetyFirst Systems, LLC, Paul Farrell is part of the safety hotline industry. Farrell describes how a safety hotline program works, its effectiveness, and how to implement one.
