King is responsible for assessing each of the company’s 60 drivers once a year for up to a day, depending on their record. He carries out random checks on drivers to ensure they have completed their daily vehicle check and on the fleets’ vehicle satellite tracking for speeding infringements. “We can tell how fast a driver has been going and know what roads he has been going on and what the speed limits are,” he explains. If caught exceeding the speed limit, drivers have to report to either Holland or King. “If it’s the first time, he will get a warning,” says Holland. “We’ll then give it a few days and then check that driver again in the random checks.”
Tacho data is monitored by an analysis company and drivers are then given a weekly report back so they can see how compliant they are. “If there are issues, we can nip them in the bud quickly,” explains Holland. “We also have a league table of drivers to show who the better ones are in relation to infringements on the tachos.”
