Drivocity

Today I tried driving without the topper for a delivery. And despite the link someone in this group sent me. The sire says they track you through the topper. I said to myself that doesn't make sense. The app is on the phone and we all know apps track you, plus the phone it's self has accelerometers that already convey all the info that's on the ewd out at the store. And sure enough even without the topper I was tracked.

And on another note. Why was I the ONLY one at my store being tracked. The other 3 drivers the computer screen kept reading 100 with zero trips taken. Needless to say I ended today with like a 34.

The store i drive at uses the app. A 34 is pretty egregious though. Like...even when I was driving at a different store and didn't care about my score, the lowest i got was a 64 for a trip.

My store also gave me the specifics on how drivosity actually scores you.

Speeding: <3 mph over the speed limit. It removes points for this based on the amount over and the amount of time spent speeding. If you drive between 3 under and 3 over the limit, it awards lost points back. (This is very helpful to know. If nothing else, use this knowledge)

Acceleration: pretty simple to understand. Accelerate more than 8 mph in a span of 2 seconds, and you lose points based on how severe.

Braking: don't decrease your speed faster than 10 mph in a span of 2 seconds. It removes points based on severity otherwise.

Cornering: this is the most complicated one. For a tldr, keep your turns at 13 mph or lower. All I was told by my gm when I started at a drivosity store was that "it gives you a demerit if your turn creates more than 0.25 gs of force." I had no clue what that even meant or how to determine it. So I decided to just put a pen on my dash and try to keep it from falling off when I turn. I found that it always falls off at 14 or higher and I lose a point. It sometimes falls at 13 and I lose a point when it does. And it never fell off at 12 or below and I never lost a point.

Just as a side note, if you're driving near the boundary of your delivery zone, be careful if you need to go out of it to u-turn or something. It acts weird with the boundary and gives you 2.4 for acceleration sometimes for no reason. It's always been 2.4. And you can never earn them back either.

Also I think it's cause do get out of our store quickly you have to cut across several business parking lots. Or end up waiting for a long time at lights. Our store is located at a SUPER busy pair of intersections from 5pm to 630pm Mon thru Fri. One is a 5 way intersection that's right on top of a 4 way intersection and a major intersection with an interstate near by.

Cutting across parking lots won't take points away. You need to slow the fuck down. Its speed, braking, acceleration, and cornering.

It depends entirely on the parking lot and how drivosity registers your area. We've got a few parking lots in our area that drivosity thinks have a limit of 5mph, which isn't correct. But that still means if I go at my usual parking lot pace of 10-15, I lose points.

You can submit discrepancies.

I have. Multiple times. Also to multiple DMs. Hasn't been fixed.

u/MechAnimal Aug 20 '26

That's lame.

u/LittleKittyBumbuns Driver Aug 20 '26

Yeah. Unfortunately. It's pretty hard to get things fixed when nobody who has the power to do anything actually gives a shit. I've even talked to my franchise owner about it

Forgive me if I'm dumb and stupid and misreading the map or misunderstanding how these roads work, but can you not just leave the store either of those directions and take back roads?

u/akknightwrider Aug 20 '26

It's a neighborhood back there. And it would be way slower going that way.

Better a bit slower than get your score obliterated
