An appreciable number of corporate drivers have at best a lackadaisical approach to vehicles entrusted to them. These vehicles are usually driven roughly and carelessly; and not properly and timely serviced / maintained. We have conducted extensive research and have discovered the following:

Factor: BAD DRIVER HABITS

Factor: FRAUDULENT PRACTICES
Explanation: This is mostly expressed in bogus repair requisitions and inflated repair costs. This is usually syndicated between driver, transport supervisor, and mechanic / garage carrying out repairs.

Factor: POOR MAINTENANCE
Explanation: A good number of companies resort to semi – road side mechanics when the vehicles are out of warranty, thinking this is a wise, cost saving solution. This is a big and costly mistake as a poorly maintained vehicle will deteriorate fairly rapidly.
