Here are some tips to discussing root causes during your driving coaching conversations.
Discuss Root Causes
- Explore whether organizational factors like scheduling, routing, or vehicle condition may be contributing to unsafe behaviors. For example, you can use Geofences to schedule log entry and exit times for a particular location.
- Consider environmental factors and ask how you can better support the driver.
- Understand the driver’s perspective; if they express concern with data accuracy or justified events, investigate further if needed. Technology and drivers alike can make mistakes.
- Review supplementary sources like MVRs, DOT reports, and drug/alcohol screening results to uncover underlying issues.
