A fleet that is perceived by prospective drivers as one that cares about its employees would more likely draw in younger drivers, and this attitude would deepen their investment in the fleet’s mission
For fleets looking to improve their own systems and find new ways to operate more cost efficiently, it can be valuable to look at how owner-operators are doing this on a micro level.
By sharing fleet objectives and opening up a channel for feedback, young drivers can feel more connected to their job and to the success of the fleet as whole.
True Fuel normalizes factors that MPG as reported by telematics or other systems can’t account for and the external environmental conditions that the driver can’t control and shouldn’t be measured by.
Drivers become more than just workers; they become partners both in their own personal success and in the success of the fleet as a whole.
Drivers can make a massive difference on fuel if you let them, so it makes sense to engage them constructively with a real financial incentive that motivates them to achieve maximum fuel efficiency.
When fleet leaders and drivers are on the same page, and are both equally invested in improved fuel efficiency, you will be running a smarter, more engaged, and more cost effective fleet.
True driver engagement is about more than just getting the people in your fleet to keep doing their jobs for a bit longer. Paying and incentivizing your drivers more is just one piece of the puzzle.
The fuel-saving technologies highlighted by Run on Less can help optimize your trucks as they leave the terminal, but once they are out on the road, only True Fuel can empower and excite your drivers.
True Fuel® is exactly the kind of technology that millennials are already using — something that challenges them to operate more efficiently.
With an accurate and fair incentive program built on fuel efficiency, drivers can be rewarded for doing great things, and they can know for certain that they’ve really earned those rewards.
Incentives based on fuel-efficient driving behaviors open up a new opportunity for drivers — and for the fleet’s bottom line.
Looking ahead at future technologies is always wise, but it’s also worth paying attention to the strategies that can make an impact on fuel savings right now.
With the right tool, you can empower drivers to avoid becoming discouraged by uncontrollable factors that will never change. Instead, drivers will focus on behaviors that they can control and master.
The best engagement and retention strategies all start with investing back in the drivers who keep your fleet running strong.
When all of your drivers — veterans included — know that the fleet that they’re working for is rallied around a worthy goal, they will have every reason to commit themselves to the fleet long-term.
With True Fuel® by your side, an incentive program can prove to be extremely successful. Your drivers will feel revitalized and ready to continue to do incredible work for you and your fleet.
True Fuel®’s in-cab coaching gives fleet managers unparalleled visibility and control over one of your largest operational costs.
