The start point for the best source of fleet information |
Amanda Mullans, operations director at Total Accident Management, says a half-decent grey fleet management system will, at the very least, cover your bases from a risk perspective and is also likely to cut your overall costs.
"You need a robust system in place to ensure you're aware of what sort of vehicle [employees] are driving, their documentation is up-to-date and that you've got copies of those documents," she says. "Also making sure you've got driving-for-work policies in place to allow employees to understand what they should be doing and that they're agreeing to it. If that's in place then it's your safety net."
Hardy agrees, arguing that there's no excuse not to implement such a system:?"You need a strong management system in place - and they do exist. It's no different for the corporate sector or the public sector. You can store MoT and insurance certificates etc.
"If [firms] aren't doing simple stuff like collecting insurance certificates then they're so exposed. It's not hard to put a grey fleet management system in place and there are no excuses whatsoever not to. If an authority is not controlling this then it's sinful."
