..:: SAMBA ::.. - Premier Driver Record Monitoring Service

Why Monitor Driver Records?: SAMBA delivers a “New Standard of Care” by simplifying and automating the way employers monitor drivers and manage driving records. In addition to providing instant access to online driving records, SAMBA driver record monitoring routinely checks an organization’s driving records for new violations, DUI or DWI convictions, license suspensions, revocations, and approaching license renewal dates. Every month, a concise report identifies new incidents so that you may take action – before serious accidents occur.
Monitoring Changes Driver Behavior: Employers often require employees to notify managers and/or supervisors of new citations, but this self-reporting system is less than ideal. Many employers have been surprised to find a driver with an invalid license behind the wheel on company business. When employees know their driver records are being monitored, they are more conscientious and drive more safely—benefiting their companies and their communities.
Reduce Administrative Costs: Automated driver record monitoring decreases the administrative time and resources needed to manage a paper-based system. In addition to risk management related savings, SAMBA customers save thousands of administrative hours each month. Since the automated Driver Record Monitoring service identifies only those records with new incidents, driver records with no activity are filtered, allowing you to concentrate on those few records that should be reviewed in greater detail. After addressing the few records with incidents, managers can be confident their drivers are qualified.

Proactive Government Agencies: There are very few places in a government budget where agencies can experience a dramatic savings. Proactive driver record monitoring is the first critical step in reducing the number of preventable accidents. A driver record can be a clear predictor of future risk. Fleet statistics show that 20 percent of all drivers will be responsible for 80 percent of a fleet’s accidents. The importance of identifying the risk in advance of an incident is a critical step in reducing your liability exposure, maintaining a healthy budget and keeping employees and local communities safe.
