The Safety Management subject view gives you a dashboard summary of relevant post-hire metrics, such as an activity feed, hire date/tenure, CSA, accidents/incidents, and DQF.

Points management that manages itself

Points Management allows you to assign points to accidents, incidents and violations, and uses CSA logic to handle aging so that points automatically drop off a driver’s record after a set time. This data is reflected in the Safety Summary section and pulled into the Driver Points tab, alerting you when drivers are nearing a limit.

Video broadcasts and calls that keep drivers in the loop

Tell the whole story with CSA and telematics data to resolve claims with greater ease. Can upgrade to include custom workflows, forms, and reports.

Auto-generated termination records

Termination management triggers automatic creation of a termination record when a subject is removed from hired status. The necessary information is populated in Xchange, allowing seamless responses to future VoEs.

Telematics integration options

Our safety management suite integrates with Samsara, Lytx, Keep Truckin’, Geotab, Trimble, and Platform Science to place ELD-triggered dashcam events directly in your dashboard, allowing you to run related processes, assign training, and use automation to reach higher levels of compliance.

CSA transparency and corrective traiing

Our CSA integration provides total transparency into how your drivers are performing by pulling daily FMCSA CSA data into the Tenstreet dashboard. Features infraction –> action, a tool that identifies and assigns corrective training to drivers based on their infraction.

Fleet Safety Program FAQs

If you’re new to fleet management, here are the answers to the most common questions about this topic.

What is a fleet safety program?

Fleet vehicle accidents are among the costliest injury claims made against businesses. These tough, rugged vehicles dominate the roads, making them more likely to be involved in severe or fatal accidents.

The average cost of fleet accidents is immense, slashing your profits and risking your ability to operate. Developing a strong safety culture is both an investment in your future and a service to the public.

Without a strong safety program, you risk the welfare of your employees and your business. And a generic safety program that checks compliance boxes simply isn’t enough.

Tenstreet specializes in helping you to build a fleet driver safety program dedicated to your company, your drivers, and your needs.

Big Project, Big Benefits

Anything can happen on the road. Your big rigs can find themselves in any number of situations, including bad weather and other reckless drivers.

Training your truck drivers on how to operate, react, and tackle incidents equips your fleet for anything. Developing a fleet safety management campaign isn’t easy but it comes with lasting benefits, including:

Improve Driver Safety – Review your drivers and acquire vital insights into their habits and behaviors. Pinpointing areas of improvement helps you to get more from your drivers.
Reduce Your Auto Premiums – Slash your auto insurance premiums by reducing accidents and losses. Insurers recognize a safe pair of hands, which puts more money back into your pocket.
Boost Your Corporate Image – Image is everything. Bolster your reputation by demonstrating your commitment to safe driving while offering reliable services.
Build a Strong Team – Your employees are your most valuable asset. Help show your commitment to them with fleet safety solutions that are engaging and valuable. Take care of your team, and they will take care of you.

Lay the Foundations of Your Fleet Safety Program

With every safety program comes the building blocks to make it happen. Tenstreet supports your organization by providing driver safety software, clear guidance, and structured programs that improve the outcomes of your safety department.

Before you put your pedal to the metal on safety, here’s how every commercial driver safety program begins:

Identify Exposure – Gain an understanding of all owned and non-owned vehicle exposure. Identify everyone representing your brand on America’s highways.
Management Buy-In – Acquire leadership support for the program to ensure everyone is pushing in the same direction.
Screening/Reviewing – Build a team that understands the value of your driver safety program. Establish your standards, screening processes, and evaluations.
Impactful Training – Any good program requires training that provides drivers with access to information on safe driving strategies and highlights areas for improvement regularly.
Visibility and Transparency – Dashcams and cab cams are your eyes and ears on the road. Outfit your vehicles with the data-gathering tools you need to understand your business better.
True Accident Management – Mitigate your costs by understanding your exposures. Educate drivers on what to do if an accident occurs.
Formalized Inspection, Repair, and Maintenance – Keep your fleet in prime condition by transforming how you handle routine maintenance to avoid driving with faulty equipment or sub-par components.

Be the Best in the Business

Fleet managers, dispatchers, and drivers know that regulations have tightened and enforcement has increased. Haulers have no room for error, with infractions punished by strict penalties. Adjust to the new normal of the commercial trucking industry with the Tenstreet approach.

What are the challenges in fleet safety management?

Safety programs for your fleet are not confined to security protocols alone. Ultimately, no aspect of fleet management can act in isolation, meaning there will be hurdles to overcome. There are three significant challenges in fleet management, including:

Safety/Productivity – Keeping drivers safe on the road is a priority for fleet management. Issues include visibility, transparency, and developing training programs that achieve actual results.
Cost-Reduction Initiatives – Many companies stick to generic programs because they believe it’s the best way to keep costs down. However, generic programs and methodologies cost more in the long run due to their lack of efficiency and results.
Fuel Price Volatility – Fuel costs are essential to maintaining your profits. A commitment to safety can improve how your drivers operate their vehicles, reducing fuel consumption and saving on costs.

Tenstreet solutions address every aspect of fleet management, including safety, thus empowering you to get more from your team.

How can fleet safety be improved?

The most challenging aspect of fleet safety is knowing where to begin. With so many moving parts contained within a single safety program, it can be difficult to decide which areas to address first.

Some of the best ways to make your fleet safer include:

Developing strict written safety policies
Issuing regular refresher courses for all drivers
Rewarding drivers for great performances
Choosing reliable vehicles
Investing in the technology that contributes to more safety
Committing yourself to preventative vehicle maintenance

How can I improve my driver performance?

Driver behavior is the core of any fleet safety program. Any driver that consistently fails to meet your standards is a liability and an accident waiting to happen. By improving the behavior of your drivers on the road, you can make a significant dent in your fleet’s accident rates.

Tenstreet provides you with the data required to learn more about everything that is going on on the roads. Data alone isn’t enough to change the face of your company — you need to know how to use it.

Some of the techniques you can use to improve driver performance include:

Identify Risky Behavior – Speeding, taking corners too quickly, and not providing enough space for other drivers are some examples of bad behavior that could increase the risk of an accident. Identify and address these habits with comprehensive driver training on how to reduce risk on the road.
Highlight Substandard Drivers – Approaching drivers who consistently fail to meet your standards using an evidence-based approach is the first step to improving performance. This should be done honestly, transparently, and privately.
Incentivize Safe Driving – Give drivers a reason to focus on improvement by rewarding them for their work. It could be a cash bonus, gift card, or something else.

Ultimately, improving driver performance requires strict policies and the ability to enforce them.

How much do Department of Transportation (DOT) penalties cost?

Fleet safety violations can cost your business dearly. Some examples of the fines imposed by the DOT include:

$1,951 for operating out of service
$19,505 for allowing a driver to operate out of service
$13,072 for records falsification
$3,969 for non-recordkeeping violations (maximum penalty of $15,876)

Carriers can also lose their operating licenses, and offending drivers may be taken out of service. In some circumstances, the DOT can even issue criminal penalties with jail time.

"Strategically, it's a lot easier to dig into a driver's file when it's technology-based versus the guy is writing on a piece of paper in your office. “Oh yeah, this looks great.” You stuff it in a file. With Tenstreet we can study it closer. Everything's right in front of you. Whether it's the safety guy or the operations folks, we all have the access to it. We can work a lot better with files than how we used to do them. "

"When I first started, there were filing cabinets of paper, and I would pull out driver qualification files that were a foot wide. And now in Tenstreet, I can click on an MVR if I want or I can go to a CIDlis, I can do anything. At first we were using a different platform for a learning management system, and then we switched to Tenstreet. And we always made it mandatory, our drivers have to do this training, but it wasn't easy for them to do the training. In the two days after we signed up for Tenstreet's training, I already had a thousand drivers complete training."

"Tenstreet has everything that we need, starting with the driver from the very beginning to his DQ file and safety requirements. And it's streamlined our company and our safety department. They're able to have everything electronically instead of having files and files of drivers' records. So now we don't have to worry about having all these paper files."

“From recruiting drivers to building a paperless driver qualification file to safety - the savings in time and effort by integrating so fully with Tenstreet has been phenomenal. Our entire company likes Tenstreet; we use it thoroughly with every driver.”

“As a one person Safety, Compliance, Recruiting, Human Resources, and Fleet Maintenance Manager, I’ve gotten hours back in my work week by using the Tenstreet suite. Our small fleet continues to grow and the biggest winners in all of this have been my family.”
