The new tool gives companies the power to manage exceptions faster than ever before, which saves time and money.
Any fleet manager’s job would be exponentially easier if there was a way to have eyes on each of the company’s vehicles at all times so that any service or logistical issues could be addressed immediately.
Recognizing that time is money when it comes to significant events that impact a fleet, ARI® has introduced ARI WatchList®, a new tool available via the ARI insights® portal to ARI clients currently using its Accident Management and Telematics programs.

Like the typical American, I believe I’m an above-average driver. Which means I’m probably overconfident, at least occasionally complacent and not as good as I think I am. It also means I’m probably not much different from a lot of fleet drivers.
So, it was with mixed feelings that I headed out to Driving Dynamics’ all-day, behind-the-wheel driver training course. What, I thought, did it have to teach me? After all, I’ve been driving for nearly 50 years, and have driven hundreds of thousands of miles as a professional driver (during college and between jobs I’d been a limousine service driver), during which time I never once had an accident, not even in mid-town Manhattan during rush hour and on the treacherous Belt and Southern State parkways, with their shoulder-less, too-narrow lanes, sewer grates, potholes and crazy-fast drivers.
But then again, there was that rear-ender I caused a few years ago, fiddling with my new toy, a shiny new GPS.

Would you change how you get to work for $10 a month? $50? How about $100?
As dense cities struggle with packed roads and choking smog, officials are on the hunt for ways to get people out of cars and onto their feet, bikes, or public transit. One idea? Paying them off. And Washington, DC is thinking about doing just that.
A bill before the city council would compel employers who provide free parking to offer transit benefits (like a pre-tax bus pass) or a cash payment to workers who find another way to the office. The goal here isn’t to stamp out cars, but to let the non-drivers “cash out” the value of “free” parking.

We’ve all been there. The deadline for your document is looming. You start a new blank document in MS Word, type a few sentences, but don’t know what to write next. After staring at that white screen for a while, you walk away, hoping something will come to you later.
This is an all too familiar scenario for many people. We sit down and expect to start writing. Why is that? In school, we were taught to research a topic, and then write an essay that met a certain format. But when it came time to put pen to paper, we froze up trying to make sense out of our disparate pieces of research.
Writer’s block is not your inability to compose a sentence. Instead, it’s a sign that you have not given yourself the time to consider, analyze, and organize your research. If we give ourselves the time to brainstorm and organize, then writing the sentences will feel like a natural progression.
