The Solution 

Like many fleets, Modern has a system for tracking DOT inspections, incentivizing drivers with clean reports, and assigning corrective action to drivers who fail an inspection. Modern has used Descartes Fleet Safety™ to create a system that effortlessly tracks new and old inspections, reduces their reporting time to state authorities, easily dispenses incentives to passing drivers, and enables the assignment of timely, relevant training. 

The Results 

With Descartes Fleet Safety, Modern has reduced unnecessary administrative time and used the savings to improve their BASICs, motivate drivers, and assign training. By automating inspection collection and awareness, the company cut reporting time by two-thirds while improving responsiveness to authorities and reducing compliance risk. Modern serves as an excellent example of how fleets can use Descartes Fleet Safety to identify risk, simplify their compliance process, and put resources toward productive pursuits.
