Top Coachable Events
Here’s how Driver Coaching can help:
1. Lower Accident Rates with Instant Feedback
Unsafe driving habits can lead to accidents, which are costly and dangerous. Driver Coaching provides daily reports summarizing their performance and provides feedback to drivers. This information helps them correct risky behaviors before they cause problems. By monitoring drivers regularly, you can keep your fleet safer and avoid unnecessary accidents.
2. Encourage Safe Driving Habits
Driver Coaching offers Configurable Scorecards that you can adjust to match your fleet’s specific goals. These scorecards highlight important safety metrics, as well as driver rankings amongst peers making sure that drivers always have safety in mind. By reinforcing safe driving habits, you can help your drivers make better choices on the road.
3. Address Safety Issues Quickly
Addressing minor safety concerns promptly is crucial to prevent them from escalating into major issues. In coaching, flags highlight areas of concern and prompt drivers to acknowledge any unsafe driving practices. Managers then monitor acknowledgments to track safety issues and drivers' compliance with safety protocols. Acknowledgment Tracking increases visibility into improvements over time, which helps facilitate the tracking of safety issues and meeting your company's goals effectively.
4. Give Drivers a Voice
Driver Coaching also focuses on fairness and accountability with an optional dispute feature. The disputes feature lets drivers dispute a stat, discuss it with their manager, and resolve any issues with their scores. This creates an environment of openness. Drivers feel empowered to contribute to their safety and performance, leading to increased safety and accountability across the fleet.
5. Track Progress and Celebrate Success
Improvement takes time, and it’s important to recognize when progress is made. Within the driver’s scorecard, you can track the driver’s progress and see how they are improving over time. Drivers can view their safety scores, understand how their driving affects these scores, and see how they rank compared to other drivers. This feature helps you know the impact of your safety efforts and motivates drivers to keep improving
Enhancing Driver Coaching with Integrated Telematics Solutions
Driver coaching features are more effective when used with other technologies, such as ELDs (Electronic Logging Devices) and cameras. This combination offers a complete view of driver behavior and expands coaching possibilities.
ELDs allow managers to coach on Hours of Service and compliance violations. Cameras offer a variety of video safety events to coach on, such as speeding, tailgating, driver distractions, and more. Using these tools together, fleet managers can address a broader range of behaviors, addressing more safety and compliance issues.
Driver Coaching from Pedigree Technologies isn’t just about improving driver performance—it’s about creating a safer environment for your drivers and ensuring your fleet’s long-term success. Driver Coaching provides you with the tools to monitor, guide, and celebrate your drivers' progress, increasing safe driving habits. Safe drivers will reduce accidents, improve compliance, and strengthen your fleet's reputation.
