Vehicle Selection and Assignment
It is important to ensure that the vehicles you select for a specific function are adequate in design and capability for the intended purpose.
It is the responsibility of each driver to select the appropriate vehicle to be used in performing their tasks. Make sure your employees keep all vehicles well maintained and in safe and efficient operating condition at all times.

Where practical, consider adopting a "one driver, one vehicle" strategy. Assignment to a single vehicle instills a sense of responsibility and ownership. Also, a worker who operates the same vehicle each day may more easily identify potential mechanical problems with that vehicle.
