You know how hard it is to manage a fleet?

      The old saying goes, "Do not want to be a soldier of the general is not a good soldier," truck drivers in the day and night driving when certainly have fantasies about when to be their own boss, open a logistics company, organize a fleet, However, said the car is difficult to drive tired, the card faithful know how to manage a team more difficult? If you want to own the day to go when the boss tube fleet, take a look at the following logistics bosses summed up the fleet management experience!

       Fleet management has been a logistics and transportation business operators are facing a problem. "Rather with a mighty force, without a team of a soldier," circulated in the industry this sentence fully illustrates this problem. In the fleet management work, the most difficult and most important is the driver management, vehicle management, scheduling management and security management.

       First, the driver management

       The main function of the logistics is transportation, and the team is the main carrier of the transport task.

       The management of the fleet is very important and difficult. This is a consensus within the industry. This is mainly due to the large space, mobility and control of the team's transportation work. On the other hand, as the main body of the team - the driver, its overall quality is not high, consciousness is not strong. Fleet management to do a good job, the driver's management is the core. The team's technology, maintenance, scheduling, financial, security and so important work, all behind the decision of the driver's behavior. Therefore, manage the driver, it means to manage the team. So, how to manage the driver?

       1. Driver's recruitment

       This clearance is very important. To have a good driver team, we must take a good job off. If the driver's driving skills not work, the team security officers have some busy, if the driver's mechanical knowledge is not good, the repair shop will work overtime every day. If all this is the driver, the entire team will be finished. Therefore, the recruitment of drivers, it is necessary to master three points: First, driving skills, the second is to repair common sense, three work attitude.

       2. Driver training

       Many fleet management ignored this point, that training is a high-level personnel. Driver recruitment for various reasons may not be perfect, training has become an important thing. Training content mainly has two points: First, maintenance and repair knowledge, and second, traffic safety regulations. Maintenance of the training to ask the repair shop to the technical staff, but also to regularize. Fleet operations are busy, the driver is often not at home, but to find ways to do it

       3. Driver system construction

      Institutional construction is not as simple as making a document. Before the captain, the team from time to time the driver in the oil, repair costs, pull private goods, etc. fraudulent acts. The convoy system is to find out who is fired. On the surface, this is very strict, but the actual situation is always someone to take risks to do, and sometimes some good performance of the driver, fired a pity, not fired and can not. Later, when the captain, the development of fixed fuel, fuel accounting, saving awards, excessive penalties and other systems, three years down, very few such things happened. In fact, this is only after the deal, as well as the issue of prior control. The driver's system construction to control the direction of advance development.

       4. To go deep into the ranks of drivers

       Professional driving is a hard and dangerous occupation. They go back to the company, be sure to go and see them, listen to their ideas. only in-depth driver team, to be able to find what they want, and then to develop a practical program. In addition, only in this way, they will follow the disposal, will "the company's car as their own car."

       5. Wages to reflect the "can do more work" principle

       The driver came out to drive only one purpose: to make money. No matter how your company's wage level, you should reflect the principle of more work. In general, the driver's wages mainly consists of three parts: the basic wage + wage + reward and punishment amount. Among them, the main body of labor wages, mainly based on mileage or traffic or transport times, calculated; reward and punishment amount, mainly reflected in the actual performance and safety conditions.

     Second, vehicle management

 
       The management of the vehicle is much easier than the management of the driver, but the management of the vehicle is equally important.
 
        1. The purchase of vehicles
 
       This is generally the boss thing. But one thing to note, the domestic freight vehicle is usually only the railings and no compartment. When buying a car, the vehicle dealer will usually recommend the vehicle modification factory. At this time, we should pay attention to this problem, do not be fooled. New car in front of about 3,000 km called walk-in period, this period of the car is like a baby, need special care. First, this time to arrange a good driver to open, the second is to light load (preferably contained within the 50%), the third is to low. On this issue, a large fleet or experienced drivers are aware, but some small units tend to pay no attention.
 
        2. Vehicle maintenance
 
       Maintenance is a big topic, very important and very professional. Technical things here is not discussed here, just say a problem, that is, who will do the vehicle maintenance? Routine maintenance (water, fuel), of course, the driver to do, but also to develop a specific day-to-day maintenance projects and requirements, and assessment in place, many vehicles because of this mechanical failure did not do a good job. In addition to the daily maintenance, the other maintenance and repair work by who is very particular about the. At present, each has its own provisions. The number of vehicles in the 10 or less, the company does not have to hire someone to do, all commissioned repair shop; vehicles in the number of 10 to 30 between, it must be requested to do a few full-time staff to do a large repair project is still commissioned Repair shop. More than 30 may consider the formation of repair shop, repair shop depending on the size of the case.
 
        3. Hygiene of vehicles
 
        Including the appearance of the vehicle and the interior of the compartment. Many companies do not pay attention to this problem. The appearance of the vehicle is the image of the company, the internal health of the carriage involves the goods. In fact, it is very simple to do, as long as the parking lot to install a faucet, buy a few cleaning tools on the line. Of course, requires the driver to insist on doing.
 
       4. Vehicle management tools
 
       After buying a new car, will have a toolbox, which is equipped with common repair tools. Most teams do not have the tools to manage the vehicle. Up to two years, the tools are out of the seven thousand seven hundred eighty-eight. For this kind of problem, no knack, one is to check with the driver and signed a good //confirm/i/iation, the second is not regularly checked. Found less, or not to pay the company's internal things.
 
        5. Vehicle file management
 
       Including the original file, maintenance records, vehicle documents, payment vouchers, operating records, collectively referred to as vehicle files. These seem to be small, but sometimes very important to do it is not simple. Our team there is such a thing: a major vehicle traffic accident occurred, the traffic police to the team to find maintenance records and operating records, but we can not get out. From then on, we began to work in this area. The key to this matter is to do it with perseverance.

     Third, scheduling management
 
      Scheduling work is a core task of the team. The team's dispatcher is like the commander of a project. The dispatcher controls and directs the team's three main resources: the driver, the vehicle and the transport plan, while the rest of the fleet, such as maintenance, finance, security and logistics, revolves around dispatching. Sometimes, the team captain's power is less than the total dispatcher. A good scheduling needs to master five essentials:
 
      1. To the team's vehicle condition is very familiar with
 
      If it is two or three cars, car number to remember each car may not be difficult, but if it is more than 100, it is a bit difficult. Light is not enough to remember the car number, but also on the size of each car, load, volume, car condition well known. only in this way can the scheduling good.
 
      2. To the team's driver is very familiar with the situation
 
       This is more difficult than recording vehicles. For long-haul freight, a car usually has two pilots. Know the driver's name, ability, familiarity, physical condition, and other conditions (whether drinking, driving, driving, maintenance, or family). why? The task is important and difficult, of course, to the ability of the driver to perform; if it is two people, of course, a strong point to another poor with a good, if both are alcoholic, that finished; Good technology to open. This thing inside is really complicated, scheduling a good team of 100 people, far more than the command of a 1,000-person factory difficult.
 
       3. To be familiar with the national road conditions
 
       Scheduling not only to good staff and vehicles, but also arrange the driving route. Some teams may have a fixed route, but others may change at any time. The transit routes are to be arranged on a temporary basis according to the transport mission. More than 200 cities across the country have our point of sale, today, this point to goods, which points tomorrow to goods, are not fixed, every day made 30 cars, at least 20 different running routes. To go when to go which high-speed, come back and go which country road, should be arranged. Also be aware of the round-trip time for each line. This time to do three things: First, communicate more with the drivers, they are very clear road conditions; Second, the map; Third, do not follow the car running.
 
       4. A careful analysis of the transport plan, and timely communication with the task department
 
       If it is internal transport, the next task is generally the sales department, if it is a third party logistics company, the next task is the sales department, but the task comes from the customer. Regardless of which, after receiving the task, we must carefully analyze the task of time, flow, size, and then with the vehicle, loading and unloading locations, cargo types, personnel combined with each other (this is scheduling). In addition, if there is any situation, such as whether to add goods, less point of goods, to communicate with the task department in a timely manner. The effectiveness of this work depends entirely on the vehicle, personnel, routes and tasks to master the situation and the ability to work. There is no fixed pattern.
 
       5. not only have warmth, but also have courage
 
       Scheduling the biggest difficulty is from the driver. Some like to go to Beijing, some like to Chongqing, and some like long distance, and some like short-haul. To tell the truth, it is difficult to understand the mind of each driver. This time, first of all have warmth, without violating the principle of the case, try to meet their requirements. Because a good mood is one of the conditions of safe driving. However, they can not blindly meet them, and sometimes have the courage, not to punish, or even dismissed. Another point, to be fair, not to abuse of power.

      Fourth, security management
 
       To tell the truth, the team's safety management is one of the most difficult work, very difficult to grasp. But still talk about some of the fleet safety work shallow views.
 
       1. Team safety is a team thing
 
        Transport safety, involving all aspects of each department, each person. Vehicle braking system is not good and the accident is the responsibility of the maintenance department, the driver is too tired to schedule is not scheduled, the driver is too poor technology is the recruitment of staff. Therefore, the team's safety management is full of management, control points should be distributed to all sectors, all aspects.
 
       2. Safety education should always be kept
 
       This is the security sector thing. As the team's security officer, the focus of the work is not out of the accident to deal with, but to control in advance. The safety education (training) meeting of the driver should be carried out on a regular basis. Qualified security personnel to know the safety of all aspects of traffic, and pass it to the driver. In addition, but also through various channels, various forms of strengthening safety education.
 
       3. The same driver can not be in the same team out of two traffic accidents
 
       We have a summary of the law, out of the accident driver, will soon be out of the third. So, once a second accident, we will dismiss or dismiss him. To do so, is responsible for the team, but also responsible for his own.
 
       4. Strict control of all forms of traffic violations
 
       Driving a car, breaking a single line, chaos parking, running a red light, drinking and other traffic violations is the first cause of traffic accidents. These acts are also fighting traffic police, if found to deduct a fine. At this time, the team's attitude is very important. Our approach is, once found the driver was fined, the team also punish the same amount of money, and the cancellation of this month's Safety Award. At this time, can not have compassion, but can not help the driver reimbursement of fines (except for special circumstances).
 
       Insurance claims and accident handling to take care of the interests of the driver
 
       Choose what kind of insurance companies, what kind of insurance coverage, accident handling what kind of methods and strategies are very important, this is a very professional problem. only one point, we must take into account the interests of the driver of the parties. Accident is a fait accompli, the driver is also very painful. As a security administrator to take care of his interests.
 
       5. Do every detail, for the driver to create a good and relaxed environment
 
       Drivers work very hard, the mood may also be very depressed, as managers, as much as possible for them to create a conducive to safe driving environment. For example, set up a lounge, cab air conditioning, buy some heatstroke drugs.
