Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
A strong review blends safety and compliance results (incidents, MVR, HOS, inspection outcomes) with service and professionalism (on-time, efficiency, customer feedback, attendance), then sets goals. Grounding it in scorecard and MVR data keeps it objective.
The driver scorecard tracks behavior month to month; the annual review rolls that up with compliance and service results into a development conversation and goals. Use the scorecard data as the backbone of the safety section.
Many fleets connect reviews to merit increases or bonuses, but tie consequences to reliable data and a fair process. Coordinate with HR on how ratings map to compensation.
File it in the driver's personnel record. It's an HR document — keep it separate from confidential drug/alcohol testing records, which have their own secure storage.
