Understanding how important recruiting and retaining experienced drivers are to a fleet’s success, the companies will present how advanced video-based systems with integrated data can help fleet managers identify qualified drivers and keep them behind the wheel. With the right video technology, fleet managers can access crucial information regarding drivers that they would otherwise not be privy to, such as specific driving skills and areas that require improvement. In addition to aiding recruiting and retention efforts, video data can be leveraged to provide personalized coaching, leading to more skilled and confident drivers.

Billingsley of G&P Trucking Company will share firsthand experiences with SmartDrive’s video-based safety program and how individualized coaching can help eliminate areas of risk and foster a company culture focused on safety. Attendees will also learn how SmartDrive’s program enables fleet managers to provide coaching based on fair and consistent information, resulting in more positive driver-manager relationships.
