Why Ongoing Training is Critical for Inexperienced Drivers

Do you have a solid onboarding process and ongoing driver training program to support new and inexperienced employees? Transportation companies offering frequent training can help new drivers improve their skills in a shorter time.

Employee training should not only be offered during onboarding or after a violation occurs. If your newer drivers are insecure about their driving abilities, poor performance may follow, creating dissatisfaction and a lack of confidence. These negatives make them a much higher risk on the road.

Companies offering frequent training can help new drivers improve their skills quickly. Ongoing training also allows you to catch poor driver behavior before bad habits that could lead to disqualifications are formed – preventing dismissals and helping retain talent.

With the right driver monitoring software from SambaSafety, available to TVC Pro-Driver members, you can watch for violations year-round and tailor your assigned training based on what each driver needs to improve.
