Coach Drivers

Motive helps Fleet Managers identify drivers and behaviors that need coaching. All relevant logs, including issues, videos, speeding events, and coaching history, are displayed in one view for efficient feedback.

Overview

  • [Safety events only] You can easily identify unsafe driving patterns and get full context on every video.
  • [Safety events only] Drivers are added to the “Drivers to Coach” list when at least one of their safety events has the “coachable” status. Fleet Managers can manually mark an event as “coachable” or save time with Motive’s automated coaching feature
  • [Compliance] Logs that have HOS violations or Form and Manner errors can be marked as “coachable” from the logs detail page.

There are two possible reasons:

  1. Driver is not part of a group. In addition to the fleet admin, fleets with permission to Manage Drivers could add the driver to a group.
  2. Driver is part of a group but the group does not have an assigned safety coach.
