Category Archives: Driver Licence Checking

Approach to reducing fleet risks We recognise that a one-size-fits-all risk program does not suit every fleet, all of the time.  In fact, every fleet has a unique risk profile based on the uniqueness of the drivers they employ and the history, hierarchy and culture of the organisation. There are other reasons why RVM doesn’t offer a...

Is Fleet Risk Data weighing you down?

BIG DATA – The Problem It is now quite common for a fleet to have a licence checking supplier, a claims provider, an online assessment and training supplier, a telematics supplier, an on-board camera supplier, a tachograph analysis provider, a fuel card provider….. and the list goes on.
