Fleet management means overseeing the drivers selected to operate your vehicles so the company can meet its goals. In other words, how well a fleet runs depends largely on its drivers.

That is why it pays to verify who is using each vehicle. This feature is part of HUNTER's services through Hunter Track, our GPS Monitoring System. Keep reading to learn all the benefits of identifying the drivers in your fleet.
Driver identification is a process that starts by determining who is getting behind the wheel. In some cases, identification is required before the vehicle can be started.
In addition, the identified driver's data is recorded and sent to a monitoring center for validation. Reports can then be generated showing which drivers used the vehicle on specific dates and times.
With a driver identification system, you can check whether a driver uses the vehicle during unauthorized hours or when they are not on the schedule. You can also see which driver took an unauthorized route during their shift.
When several drivers share a vehicle, it can be confusing to determine who committed a violation or damaged the vehicle. With an identification system, responsibility can be assigned to the person who was authorized and identified when the event occurred.
Like any other employee, drivers must follow work schedules and conditions. By identifying who is driving, you can also track how many hours they actually worked and were assigned to the vehicle. This allows payroll and other benefits to be calculated accurately.
With reliable information about who drove the vehicle, fleet managers can verify whether the plan was carried out.
When a driver is fully identified, their behavior and activities can be scored at the end of the workday. That score helps determine corrective actions or make decisions about whether they should continue driving for the company.
Knowing who is driving a fleet vehicle makes it possible to determine who is making driving mistakes. For example, the Hunter Track system can send alerts for harsh braking or speeding. Once the driver is identified, the necessary corrections can be made for future trips.
Now that you know the benefits of identifying the drivers in a vehicle fleet, there is no doubt you can implement this system in your own fleet, whatever its size.
