Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main benefits of enrolling drivers in training?
Investing in driver training isn’t just a smart move — it’s a game-changer. It helps you cut turnover costs, reduce workers’ comp claims, avoid messy post-crash lawsuits, and most importantly, keep your team safe.
How often should drivers be required to complete refresher training?
The companies that are most successful in reducing incidents and impacting driver behavior are the ones that prioritize driver safety. At a minimum, drivers should complete training once a year, with high-risk drivers receiving targeted training in their specific areas of risk. We highly recommend monthly lessons to reinforce good habits. If that’s not feasible, quarterly training combined with monthly safety meetings and messages can help keep safety top of mind.
How do you identify drivers who exhibit consistently poor driving behavior?
There are several ways to identify drivers with consistently poor driving behavior. Monitoring their Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) and tracking violations is a great place to start. It’s also important to review all accidents they’ve been involved in — both total accidents and those deemed preventable, meaning incidents they could have reasonably avoided based on their actions or inactions.
Can enrolling our drivers in training help reduce our insurance premiums?
Driver training is the cheapest insurance policy you can buy — skilled drivers are involved in fewer accidents and file fewer claims, leading to lower insurance premiums. While each carrier is different, taking a proactive approach with drivers can reduce your business liability, as it mitigates risk, addresses concerns, and can impact driver behavior when done regularly.
