Business owners with fleets to manage these days are always looking for ways to track their employees and the vehicles those employees are driving. Since most small business owners opt to repair their vehicles themselves to save money, catching issues as soon as they occur can save the vehicle from further damage, in turn, saving the owner costly automotive repairs.
One step business owners can take to ensure their vehicles run safely is by obtaining their CSA certification. Compliance Safety Accountability (CSA) is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is a federal program designed to reduce commercial motor vehicle accidents and ensure the safety of large trucks and busses. Using information gathered at roadside inspections, crashes, safety-based violations, and more, the FMCSA rates companies; rewarding good drivers and forcing dangerous ones to discontinue operations.
Once a business owner has their CSA certification, they can pull a vehicle maintenance checklist before and after ever trip. EVIR: Electronic Vehicle Inspection Report is the only verified visual inspection system that complies with DOT-mandated inspection regulations and OSHA and MSHA equipment inspection requirements.
When the trucks are on the road, there’s only one way to ensure they are where they are supposed to be and headed in the right direction– an automatic meter reading with a V2J: High-Definition GPS/Vehicle Diagnostics System. This amazing system allows business owners to track their employees, as well as detect any problems that may come up with their company vehicles. The program also offers a unique performance advantage for business owners because it keeps track of their vehicles using date and time stamps. This allows companies to record their vehicle information and schedule maintenance accordingly. As much as we don’t like to think about out of control employees or stolen vehicles, the High-Definition GPS/Vehicle Diagnostics System can also help an employer locate missing vehicles.
