Fleet managers face daunting time constraints when balancing training, coaching, and the daily demands of running a fleet. With driver-to-manager ratios often exceeding 50:1, providing personalized, high-quality coaching is nearly out of reach — especially when each session takes 30 minutes or more to plan and deliver. This lack of available time means feedback frequently gets delayed or skipped entirely, leaving critical gaps in driver development and putting the fleet at greater risk for preventable and costly safety incidents.

Preventable accidents can cost fleets an average of $148,000 per incident — and the emotional and financial toll of an accident often reaches far deeper, affecting drivers, their families, and the entire organization.

Delivering effective training is vital for safe operations. Managers must ensure drivers are properly onboarded, up-to-date on evolving regulations, and retain crucial knowledge to operate safely. However, all of this is easier said than done. Drivers are dispersed, training modules are difficult to share, and tracking knowledge retention or completion of the training can be a challenge. These hurdles expose fleets to more risk, potentially leaving drivers feeling unsupported and unprepared.

Given these challenges, how can managers possibly keep up?

That’s where Motive comes in. Motive makes it possible to deliver effective, consistent training for every driver, no matter the fleet size.

By automating coaching and streamlining training, Motive’s solutions can eliminate planning and delivery time entirely, giving managers valuable time back without sacrificing quality or consistency. With AI Coach you can: 

  • Automatically deliver weekly AI-generated coaching videos to drivers, summarizing key events and providing actionable feedback on safety performance.
