An added bonus when implementing a fleet tracking solution is its functionality to measure driver performance and create incentives for your top performing drivers. Inspire your fleet to perform at their best by accessing data from reports within an advanced fleet tracking platform. There should be many customizable reports to choose from that measure a variety of factors. View weekly and monthly reports to rank your team on what is most important, such as safety, productivity, or reducing fuel costs. Use the information to motivate your team.
Set Goals
Decide what criteria to set for your team based on your overall goals. If you are interested in improving driver performance, pull a Scorecard Report and rank vehicles based on speeding, idling, harsh braking, and fast acceleration. From one convenient fleet tracking report, access the information you need about your fleet’s performance and also obtain a great visual representation of the data to share with your team. Choose a group of vehicles within the fleet and set the criteria for idle time. Also, set a time frame based on if you are looking to obtain information over the last week, month, or quarter.
Example Fleet Scorecard Report
Create competitions for your fleet based on the results to get them excited. Maybe the top 3 drivers who receive the best overall scorecards receive a bonus at the end of the quarter. Another idea would be to create a weekly incentive; something like the driver with the least scorecard violations over the past week gets a gift card to their favorite restaurant. Brainstorm ideas with your team on what incentives they care about to get the best results.
Reward Drivers Based on Good Driving Performance
Results:
A Fleet Scorecard Report will break down the results by vehicle and will graph performance scores in color-coded sections bringing the data to life for easy viewing to compare drivers. By sharing the graph with your team, expectations will be clear and drivers will be aware of how they measure up to the rest of the fleet.
The scorecard graph is broken down into four sections per vehicle:
- Gunner Average – the average acceleration
- Braker Average – average deceleration
- Speeder Score – the average speeds above speed the limit
- Idle Score – ranking of total idle minutes

Use Fleet Tracking Results to Motivate Your Team
Keep a visual up of the weekly or monthly scores as a reminder of fleet goals. Watching success among the drivers will create healthy competition – after all, no one wants to be at the bottom of the scoreboard. Creating an incentive associated with a good scorecard will motive your fleet to practice safe driving habits, improve efficiency and will create great moral across your team.
