The winter weather has arrived for several states around the country, which means dangerous driving conditions for fleets. It can be a challenge to ensure both driver and public safety during this time of the year. Fleet tracking software, like GPS Insight, will keep your fleet safe during the icy and hazardous season.
Ensure fleet safety during winter months:
- Drive Slower: Set up speeding alerts with a lower speed threshold during winter months. This will notify management when vehicles are going too fast for the road conditions.
- Brake Carefully: Harsh breaking on an icy road could put a vehicle into hydroplane. For the safety of your drivers and others on the road, monitor harsh breaking to help coach drivers.
- Quick Emergency Dispatch: If a driver gets stranded during a storm, you need a way send help ASAP. Access their real-time location so dispatch can send help right away.
Fleet tracking is useful all year round, but becomes even more critical when unsafe road conditions are present. Read the “Fleet Management during Winter Months” blog to learn more or contact GPS Insight.
