Improving the behaviors of your fleet’s drivers is essential to helping prevent accidents and incidents from occurring.
Our Driver Safety solution powered by the linxCam helps customers monitor, coach and incentivize drivers and should be the cornerstone of a comprehensive driver safety program.
A successful driver safety program involves creating a structured plan that includes education, training, policy implementation, and continuous monitoring and improvement.
To build a safety-first culture, emphasize a “Coach, not Catch” approach when addressing driver behavior. Focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and gaining driver buy-in by highlighting the benefits of safety programs.
While you've managed obvious business liabilities like taxes and workers’ compensation, one major risk remains: at-fault accidents that could lead to insurance loss or costly lawsuits.
Safeguard your business and employees by using AI-driven telematics data to monitor and improve driver behavior. Start with simple initiatives like reducing cell phone use and increasing seatbelt compliance to create a safer driving environment.
Driver Coaching Dashboard
Driver Coaching Dashboard offers Safety Trends and Coachable Safety Insights.
- Trending by Alert Type
- At a glance, a safety or fleet manager can see how their fleet or individual drivers are performing as it relates to individual alert types such as Tailgating, Speeding, Seat Belt Use, Phone Use, etc.
- Coachable Trends
- As a way to be more proactive about risky driving behavior, the solution will present trends in “feed” form and allow for coaching on these insights. Significant increases or decreases by driver for certain behaviors will be identified in this area.
