How do you keep your best drivers from leaving your trucking company for another? The key is in prioritizing their safety and well-being.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=”|off|” admin_label=”Blog Introduction” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ link_font=”||||on||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Recruiting truck drivers for your fleet can be as tricky as navigating a maze and retaining truck drivers for your fleet operation even more so.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine: you find a driver with a perfect record, great references, and an even better attitude. You go through the hiring process, you train them up for your operation, and within a month they\u2019ve become the top driver of your crew. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then just another month later, they turn in their notice. Where are they going? Another fleet who needs another driver.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping your best drivers from getting poached should be one of your top priorities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where are truck drivers going?<\/span><\/b> Whether they’re quitting the industry entirely or bouncing from one business to another, fleet managers are finding themselves low on drivers with a high churn rate. According to the American Trucking Association, large fleets averaged 89% of driver turnover in March 2021. Since then, truck drivers’ average turnover is approximately 80% annually.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Experts in the industry typically point to low pay, poor work-life balance, and an aging workforce for the high turnover rates. While pay is absolutely an important piece of the puzzle, fleet operators can’t neglect the importance of company culture and a reward system for top drivers. GPS Insight gives their customers the tools to reward and retain their truck drivers with our AI dash cams.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
