Drivers can do the silliest things – especially when under pressure. Sadly, their managers aren’t exempt from serious lapses of judgment either, as new analysis has revealed.
A senior fleet safety specialist – who is helping to launch a fleet benchmarking tool – recalls with a shudder a time when, not so long ago, road safety was still viewed by many firms and drivers as a luxury they could ill afford.

Benchmarking appears simple on the face of it. Look it up in any dictionary and you get a range of straight-forward, broadly similar definitions.
The online Collins English Dictionary says a benchmark is ‘something whose quality or quantity is known and which can therefore be used as a standard with which other things can be compared’. By way of example, it adds: ‘The truck industry is a benchmark for the economy’, offering a range of synonyms including ‘reference point’, ‘gauge’, ‘yardstick’ and ‘measure’.
Restaurant owners whose businesses survived the first year of the pandemic are finally beginning to see their customers come back, but now thereâs a new problem this already battered industry has to solve: finding enough workers to be able to serve them.
âWe definitely are seeing a shortage in restaurant workers in the community,â says Joe Campana, a Colorado Springs entrepreneur who owns several area restaurants and bars, including Bonny and Read and Shame & Regret. âWeâve been OK, but Iâve heard it all over town. Iâve had a number of different owners call me in the last few weeks asking me to forward applications over to them, anything weâve got.â
