Centralized Driver Safety and Compliance Monitoring Services |

Online Driver & Vehicle File Management System: FMCSR 391 compliant, The Online Safety and Compliance Electronic Reporting (OSCER) System is a record keeping database that sends email reminder notices to supervisors about impending anniversary dates like: drivers license expirations, lease expirations, inspections, permit expirations, and periodic refresher training sessions. Additionally, the system can track driver events like tickets, accidents, OOS reports, and safe driving anniversaries. The database is maintained at SafetyFirst headquarters on a secure server that allows convenient, remote access to authorized managers within your company and no one else.
Monthly Training to Help ALL Drivers in Your Fleet: SafetyFirst will email a "Ten-Minute Training Topic" on a specific fleet safety issue (road rage, drowsy driving, avoiding pedestrian collisions, coping with poor visibility, etc). Designed to highlight proper driving tips to encourage safety in all drivers, the program also includes a "how-to" sheet on preparing for the training session by incorporating a review of the fleet's own "in-house" policies that relate to the topic at hand. This monthly training program, valued at over $250 from fleet safety training suppliers, is included with the driver monitoring program at no extra cost. |
Monitor Safe Driving: A 24-hour hotline is staffed by highly trained employees who process incoming calls about driving safety. Managers receive timely e-mail notification of reported unsafe driving along with a bulletin specific to the event to facilitate driver coaching. Calls are logged into the system and tracked to resolution. Customizable downloadable reports.
Key #4: Strive to maintain 100% accurate listings of drivers and vehicles. Driver list data should contain at minimum; driver name, ID or license #, drivers license expiration date, date of birth, date of hire, DOT physical due date, driving record (MVR) and annual review date. Maintain a basic spreadsheet and learn the "sort" function on your software to keep most critical pending license, DOT physical and annual review dates at the top. It's a good idea to keep this posted in an area where drivers and company personnel keep an eye on it to help manage renewals.
Vehicle list data shall have at minimum an identification of the vehicle including company number, if so marked, make, serial number, year, and tire size. In addition, if the motor vehicle is not owned by the motor carrier, the record shall identify the name of the person furnishing the vehicle
Although motor carriers do not have to display their USDOT markings on vehicles leased or rented for <30 days, regardless of the duraation, the rental agreement must have the carriers USDOT# written on it. This should be included as part of the company's standard pre-trip process and driver training.
Regularly check SafetSat driver and vehicle out of service listings for accuracy. Ensure each OOS report has been completed and returned to state DOT office for which it was issued. Maintain this record on a minimum rolling 3-year plus current year time frame applied equally to all drivers.
