Does your company require employees to drive on the job?

If so, then having qualified drivers is essential to the health of your business.

Here are 5 Tips that will help you hire the most qualified and authorized drivers for your business.

Legal.

Ensure that your potential drivers are legal. They need to have a proper driver's license for the type of vehicle you want them to drive.
Then you should check their driving record. The company can decide how clean their record needs to be.
Some Motor Vehicle Departments (DMV) will notify employers if driving records change.
Check employee driving records throughout the year.

Pass A Background Check.

Verify past driving experiences with past employers.
Watch them arrive for the interview and leave. How they drive then will probably be the way they drive always.

Driving Test.

Perhaps passing your process is a driving test.
Risky behaviors lead to crashes, so identifying issues upfront might help you reduce the liability of an accident later.
Look at things like: changing lanes, merging, shifting gears, backing, making turns, obeying laws, turn signal habits, etc.
Another thing to look for when doing a driving test, is language and attitude. Do they appear to have the possibility of road rage?

Educate.

Create expectations of what you expect and offer training.
Cover the basics on distracted driving, seat belts, following distance, speeding, crash reporting, etc.
Ensure they sign a compliance agreement before taking your company vehicle on the road.

Review Behavior.

Measure your driver's performance, observations and vehicle inspections.
Feedback is always helpful if there is corrective action that needs to take place.
Reviews should involve driving records on all parts of your fleet safety program.
