A fleet safety program defines the criteria for who can operate company vehicles or drive personal vehicles while on company business.
The criteria for a drivers’ policy include:
- A valid and current driver’s license
- A minimum age
- Minimum years and type of driving experience
- Type of license required to operate specific equipment and proper endorsements.
Company drivers should receive specific training on driving safety. Some companies may require a road test, to ensure drivers have the necessary skills to handle the type of vehicle they are assigned to drive.
