Understanding which metrics matter the most is essential if you want to put the data you collect to good use. Some of the basic metrics that are crucial to vehicle utilization and workload balance include operating hours, miles driven, and average speed. These tell you which trucks and drivers have the most miles under their belts and how hard certain assets have been driven.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- End Block: core\/paragraph -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: core\/paragraph -->\n<div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xxs-12\">\n<p>In terms of efficiency, the EPA has identified excessive idle time as a key factor in reducing the fuel economy of fleet vehicles. This means wasted fuel, unnecessary emissions, and\/or potential mechanical strain on engines. Fleet managers should pay close attention to any long standstill periods, as they may indicate inefficiencies, delays, or preventable downtime, as well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- End Block: core\/paragraph -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: core\/paragraph -->\n<div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xxs-12\">\n<p>When it comes to preventing hazardous or inefficient driver behaviors, some of the most important KPIs to track include speed alerts, excessive braking, or suboptimal routing. Spotting aggressive behaviors on the road can help fleets improve safety and compliance. With all metrics, it\u2019s important to set internal benchmarks based on historical data to mark any trends, outliers, or drivers who may need additional coaching.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trackyourtruck.com\/blog\/gps-tracking-for-rental-car-company\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- End Block: core\/paragraph -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: core\/heading -->\n<div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xxs-12\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Do Tracking Reports Improve Safety and Compliance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- End Block: core\/heading -->\n\n<!-- Start Block: core\/paragraph -->\n<div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-xxs-12\">\n<p>Vehicle tracking reports can be a powerful resource for fleets to ensure they comply with all necessary regulations.
