The Truck Driver Risk Index™

The Truck Driver Risk Index™ is an online driver risk assessment that identifies specific behaviours that increase the risk of driving a heavy goods vehicle for work. It takes less than 20 minutes to complete, with each driver receiving a six page summary report. The report summarises the results and provides tailored advice on how to improve driver safety.

Risk Factors

Scores across several key risk factors are used to create an individual report for every driver.

Situational Risk Factors

• Age • Annual Mileage • Driving Hours • Driving Experience • Licence Status • Crash History

Behavioural & Coping Risk Factors

• Patient Driving • Anxious Driving • Work Related RIsk • Driving Excitement • Driving Fatigue • Driving Concerns • Confrontation • Driving Focus • Self-evaluation
