The ARI Driver Scorecard is a new tool from ARI designed to simplify how fleet managers can measure the performance of their drivers.

The Driver Scorecard allows fleet and safety managers to process driver data based on priorities within the organization by creating a singular score that is specific to each fleet. It pulls data from numerous sources including telematics providers, accident claims, fuel history, MVR reports, and violations to rank each driver with an overall score.

“With this tool, drivers can easily compare themselves to their peers,” said Rich Radi, director of the ARI Global Driver Excellence Program. “Everyone wants to excel at what they do, so we work with our clients to tap into this part of human nature and encourage better driving habits across the board.”

The tool is provided at no extra charge to ARI clients and is part of the overall ARI Global Driver Excellence program. The ARI Driver Scorecard monitors drivers for infractions, collisions, risk levels, fuel usage and other driving behavior data points.

“Our score is like a batting average, the fairest way to compare one baseball player’s performance to another,” said Tony Candeloro, vice president, customer information systems and product development. “After looking at just one number, fleet or safety managers can take immediate action to improve high risk drivers in their fleet and recognize those showing consistently good, safe driving behavior. Once those on the low end of the scale have corrected their behaviors, they can raise the bar and work toward even better performance.”
