There's no excuse for not managing grey fleet
The Driving for Better Business Leadership Report has highlighted some worrying failings in senior management’s knowledge and actions in dealing with grey fleet:
- 60% of leaders didn’t know the size of their grey fleet
- 53% thought it wasn’t their responsibility (it very much is!)
- 34% of grey fleet drivers had never had their driving licence checked
- 33% didn’t have cover for business journeys on their car insurance
- 74% of drivers don’t do proper vehicle and tyre checks
Steven Briers, Editor-in-Chief of Fleet News, gives his view on managing grey fleet here.
