1. HOW TO ENCOURAGE ECO-DRIVING HABITS
As fuel prices have fallen, there is concern that fleet drivers will begin to lose focus on eco-friendly driving habits that conserve fuel.
But there is no guarantee that fuel costs will remain low. In fact, many predict that oil prices will soon increase.
And just because the direct financial costs of wasting fuel have decreased for now, it doesn't mean that the indirect costs to the environment, vehicle maintenance and safety have decreased.
Now, more than ever, fleet owners need to reiterate the importance of eco-driving to their employees and encourage conservative driving habits.
Here are 10 easy tips on how to get your drivers to stop wasting your fuel.
