At Supervision, driver safety is our top priority. Everything we do centers around it.
However, before a true safety culture can be effective, driver and fleet managers must understand the level of risk an irresponsible driver poses to their organization. Entrusting a driver with a company vehicle, or entrusting them to drive their own vehicle on company time, is a big risk.
If the driver isn’t prepared to adhere to safety regulations, they are a risk that is not worth taking. But, how do you identify drivers who pose a risk?

Everyone has different preferences when it comes to transportation, but at one time or another everyone is a pedestrian.
When drivers maintain safe speeds and practice other safe driving behaviors, safer walking environments are created for you, your loved ones and others in your community. Unfortunately, pedestrian injuries and fatalities remain high. In 2020, 6,516 pedestrians were killed, and an estimated 55,000 pedestrians were injured nationwide. NHTSA raises awareness of the dangers to pedestrians and provides tips to keep pedestrians safe.

The benefits of implementing a driver risk management program – reduced collisions, incidents, injuries, license violations, carbon emissions, and reduced overall cost of vehicle ownership – are generally well understood by organizations with employees driving for work purposes.
They recognize that a holistic risk management program that helps drivers identify their risky habits and change those with the help of training, coaching, and gamification, provides long-lasting and often life-saving benefits.
So, why limit these life-changing and life-saving benefits solely to those employees driving for work purposes?
Extending your driver risk management program to ALL employees AND their families makes good sense. And cents.

|
Fleet Management Weekly recently had the opportunity to speak with Brendan P. Keegan, Chairman, CEO & President of Merchants Fleet, to discuss the fleet management company’s exceptional growth, new ownership group, and plans for the future.
Our first question for Keegan was this: Merchants has been on quite a roll for a number of years, and now you have been acquired by Bain Capital. What does this mean for Merchants and what does it mean for your clients?
Keegan: Let’s start with where we’ve been already with Bain.
Bain came in two-and-a-half years ago as our growth capital partner. As we continued to grow, we really needed an external investor to strengthen our foundation.
Since the beginning of 2018, we’ve grown fivefold on our top line.
