Maintaining Continuous Driver Performance Improvement (Beyond Year 1)

Smart in-cab video safety systems with coaching technology are proven to help fleets dramatically improve safety within the first 3-12 months. But is that improvement sustainable? Are performance plateaus inevitable? Drawing on habit formation strategies from James Clear’s Atomic Habits, we connect these principles to driver coaching and demonstrate practical techniques for sustaining positive behaviors behind the wheel. Netradyne has gathered data and best practices from their fleet customers to prove that fleets can continuously increase safety and improve their driver performance beyond the first year.
