Fleet safety goes beyond compliance. It requires a culture in which drivers are empowered with good training and supported with state-of-the-art technology. Proactive fleet managers educate and engage their drivers, reduce risks, and work to improve safety outcomes with innovative strategies. 

Best practices include: 

  • Interactive training 

  • Real-time feedback 

  • Analysis of safety metrics 

  • Incentives for safe behavior 

Focusing on driver engagement, job satisfaction, and the use of performance-enhancing technology  – like in-cab cameras – can help fleets protect their future by reducing accidents, improving safety, decreasing litigation exposure, and lowering insurance costs.
