Small Business
Every small business depends on the ability to move everything from million-dollar ideas to the latest goods. In the case of the latter, transportation of goods can sometimes be a risky venture, with overworked transport drivers tackling the perils of overcrowded highways and roads. Now, small business owners can make sure that their products are in safe hands when they purchase DPAS, the revolutionary online test that evaluates the driving knowledge and skills of current employees and potential hires. |

The Driver Performance Analysis System (DPAS) is a valid and reliable online test that measures and analyzes a driver's traffic related knowledge and skills. Although the ability to control the speed and direction of a motor vehicle is a fundamental and vital driving skill that every delivery driver must possess, he or she must also be able to quickly and accurately collect and process related driver and traffic information to safely and efficiently utilize the nation's large highways and small roads. Especially in the work trucks and vans often employed by small businesses, it is ultimately up to the driver to avoid situations that may cause accidents; DPAS diagnostic data can be used as an accurate evaluator of a driver’s traffic knowledge and skills, including traffic risk recognition and acceptance, so that small business goods arrive safe.
Essentially, DPAS is an affordable two-phase driver performance measurement and analysis program. Phase One of the DPAS is a one-hour video oriented test, during which the driver will have an opportunity to agree or disagree with driver and traffic related comments made while the traffic scenes are being shown on the video screen. Phase Two is a computer analysis of the test that provides the driver’s general information, scores in different areas of traffic knowledge and skills, analysis of driver skill level, and recommended training based on the test results. The informative and easy to follow analysis report allows small business owners to recognize what their delivery drivers do well and what they need to improve for safer driving.
DPAS is not a crash prediction instrument, but it is an effective crash prevention instrument. Research has shown that drivers with the ability to quickly and accurately collect and process critical driver and traffic information have statistically fewer motor vehicle crashes than drivers that are deficient in this ability. The statistical profiles of the driver's capabilities and deficiencies generated by DPAS are an indispensable tool for small businesses and can be used for on-going training, incident or accident retraining, or simply ensuring that their products arrive without incident
DPAS is a proven driver selection and training system that is being used daily by more than 1,000 businesses, including insurance and transportation companies including Chubb Insurance, Fireman's Fund Ins., Hyndman Transport, John Christner Trucking, Lancer Insurance, Mullen Trucking, Reliance National Insurance, and Yellow Transportation. DPAS is not only good for the safety of American roadways, but it is also good for businesses on the go.
