SA drivers dominate 2015 FleetBoard Drivers' League

Fleetboard Driver’s League is a driving competition run throughout the world using Daimler’s FleetBoard telematics system to determine driver scores. In the worldwide 2015 rankings, it was Marshall Hendricks who stood at the top of the winners’ podium in the ‘Best Driver’ category. Hendricks demonstrated his skills with an amazing driving style score of 9.95 (out of 10).

“There are so many factors that determine what makes a good driver, such as braking, accelerating and using the correct gears at all times. The Daimler FleetBoard system makes it so much easier to access and understand the information from the truck. I would often log into the system to see how I was doing against the other drivers and this meant we had a high and very healthy level of competition,” says Hendricks.

In the local FleetBoard Drivers’ League, Pieter Adriaanse, also from Imperial Fast ‘n Fresh, took the second position.

"It is impressive how many male and female drivers from a wide range of countries took part in the 2015 FleetBoard Drivers' League. Our aim with this competition is to motivate and stimulate the drivers to integrate an economical driving style into their day-to-day work and to continuously improve so that they can overtake their competitors in the Drivers' League and finally emerge as the winners,” notes Rowlands Peters, head of FleetBoard South Africa.

Registration for the FleetBoard Drivers' League 2016 will open 1 June.
