Vigillo Announces Roadside Resume

JOC Staff |
Portland, Oregon– December 6, 2010— Vigillo LLC, creators of data mining software products designed to aggregate, organize and deliver complex fleet safety information in an easy-to-read scorecard format, today announced that its Roadside Resume™, a free scorecard, will be available later this month. Roadside Resume will present CSA (Comprehensive Safety Analysis) driver scores to enable truck drivers to see how they are rated under the Federal Motor Carrier Administration’s (FMCSA) new system of measuring, regulating and enforcing safe driving and operating practices.

“Vigillo’s new Driver Scorecard called Roadside Resume is the only service in the trucking industry that will make CSA scores available directly to individual drivers,” says Steve Bryan, CEO of Vigillo. “FMCSA does not have a mechanism that allows drivers to access their scores and see where they have safety deficiencies. Roadside Resume will provide that information in a free report at anytime to any driver holding a Commercial Driver’s License.”

Vigillo’s Roadside Resume driver scorecard will be based on three years of violation history and up to five current and past CDL numbers. The database will include information from carriers that are Vigillo CSA Scorecard subscribers or from the newly created category of Affiliate members of the Vigillo Network, companies that have elected to provide this important service to their drivers by giving Vigillo access to their inspection data without paying to receive scorecards.

CSA is designed to score individual drivers on their safety performance based on a complex calculation that is derived from roadside inspections and associated violations. The performance of drivers can have an impact on the ability of a transportation company to secure freight from its customers so carriers are expected to be very focused on drivers who help and hurt their scores. “For that reason,” Bryan states, “knowing CSA scores is critical for drivers. There is no other industry where employees are scored and not told how they measure up. For truck drivers, Roadside Resume will easily and effectively address that issue.”

Roadside Resume will be available from Vigillo in conjunction with the upcoming release of its PSP (Pre-employment Screening Program). FMCSA mandates that motor carriers monitor the safety performance of their current drivers under the new CSA methodology. Vigillo PSP uses CSA data to allow fleets to perform the analysis when recruiting and hiring new drivers.

Drivers can sign up for a free copy of their Roadside Resume once it becomes available at www.vigillo.com/drivers.
