### Purpose
  • Measure driver reliability, service performance, and safety
  • Auto-create safety intervention tasks from Samsara events
  • Provide documented coaching records (FMCSA defensibility)
### Scoring frequency
  • Weekly (operational visibility)
  • Monthly (disciplinary / incentive use)
### Total score: 100 points
### Score categories & weighting
| Category | Weight | Data source |
|---|---|---|
| On-Time Pickup (OTP) | 25 pts | TMS / Dispatch |
| On-Time Delivery (OTD) | 25 pts | TMS / Dispatch |
| Load Rejections | 15 pts | Dispatch logs |
| Safety & Compliance | 35 pts | Samsara + Safety |
### KPI definitions (summary)
OTP / OTD (25 pts each)
— arrive within ±15 min of agreed window. ≥98% = full score; sliding scale down to 0 at <85%. Broker/customer delay = dispatch exception (no driver penalty); driver-error delay counted.
Load Rejections (15 pts)
— rejecting an assigned load without an approved reason. 0 rejections = 15 pts; sliding scale to 0 at ≥3. Approved reasons (no penalty): HOS conflict, equipment safety defect, verified illness/emergency, FMCSA/policy violation.
Safety & Compliance (35 pts)
— event-driven and Samsara-integrated. Deductions per verified event: speeding (-3 / -5 / -10 by severity), harsh braking/accel (-2), phone use (-7), seatbelt (-5), HOS (-10), preventable accident (-15 to -35). Floor at 0.
### Samsara safety-event workflow (critical)
  1. Samsara generates a speeding/safety alert
  2. Safety task auto-created (high-level intervention) with driver, event type, timestamp, location, speed
  3. Safety team notified (email / Slack / task board); status Open
  4. Required actions: driver contacted within 24h, coaching performed, video reviewed if applicable
  5. Documentation required: date of contact, safety agent name, driver acknowledgment, coaching notes, corrective action
  6. Task closure: status → Resolved, linked to driver file, retained for audit
FMCSA defensibility: "Motor carrier identified unsafe behavior, intervened promptly, and documented corrective action."
### Overall driver rating
| Score | Rating | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100 | Excellent | Eligible for incentives |
| 80–89 | Good | Normal operations |
| 70–79 | Watch | Coaching required |
| 60–69 | At Risk | Written warning |
| < 60 | Critical | Suspension / retraining |
### Reporting
  • Driver view: personal score, 90-day trend, event log
  • Management view: bottom 10%, event frequency, OTD/OTP by dispatcher, coaching completion rate
  • Audit view: event → task → resolution chain with timestamps and corrective-action proof
