How to manage drivers when you can't be there

GuideBy the Handova team

Most fleet owners have a day job, or more vehicles than they can watch. Here is how to stay in control from your phone.

Many fleet owners run their vehicles alongside another job, or from another city. You cannot stand at the rank or the depot all day, so you need a way to know what happened without being there.

Agree the rules in writing

Daily targets, working hours, who pays for fuel and fines, and what happens when there is a shortage. Clear rules prevent most arguments.

One report at the end of every shift

Cash, fuel, expenses and odometer, sent from the driver's phone before they hand over. With Handova it takes two minutes and you see it straight away, wherever you are.

See the vehicle, not just the report

Live location during shifts and the route afterwards answer the question "where was it?" without a phone call.

Let the software raise the alarm

You don't need to read every report. Handova warns you about cash shortages, distances that don't match, vehicles that need a service and papers about to expire.

Reward good drivers

Drivers can see their own days worked, cash and targets. Recognising the reliable ones, and paying bonuses on clear numbers, keeps good drivers with you.
