What you get
- One row per driver with the period being scored
- Safety inputs: speeding events, harsh braking/acceleration, and seatbelt/phone flags
- Efficiency inputs: MPG, idle %, and on-time delivery rate
- A weighted composite score and a rank or tier
- A trend column so you can see who's improving or sliding
- An Excel layout with example weighting you can adjust to your priorities
How to use it
- 1
Pull the period's metrics from your telematics, ELD, and dispatch systems for each driver.
- 2
Enter the raw inputs — events, MPG, idle %, and on-time rate — into each driver's row.
- 3
Set the weighting that matches your priorities (e.g., safety weighted heavier than fuel) and let the composite score calculate.
- 4
Rank drivers and assign tiers, then compare against the prior period's trend.
- 5
Use the bottom tier to target coaching and the top tier to recognize and reward.

Driver Scorecard / Behavior Tracker
Inputs and weights are illustrative — calibrate them to the data your telematics and dispatch systems actually produce. A scorecard is a coaching tool, not a disciplinary substitute; pair low scores with conversation.
| Driver name | Period | Speeding events | Harsh events | Idle % | MPG | On-time % | Composite score | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| J. Alvarez | May 2026 | 2 | 1 | 11% | 7.4 | 98% | 92 | A |

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions buyers usually ask once the category, software, or rollout details start getting more specific.
Most fleets blend safety signals (speeding, harsh braking/acceleration, seatbelt, distracted-driving flags) with efficiency signals (MPG, idle time, on-time delivery). Choose the few that you can measure reliably and that drive your goals, then weight them.
There's no universal formula. Most safety-first fleets weight crash-predictive behaviors (speeding, harsh events) most heavily. Start with the example weighting in the sheet and adjust based on what correlates with incidents in your fleet.
Many fleets use scorecards for coaching and recognition first. Tying scores directly to pay or discipline can create perverse incentives and morale issues if the data is noisy. Validate the data quality before attaching consequences.
Monthly is common — frequent enough to coach, long enough to smooth out noise. Keep the period consistent so trends are comparable.
